About

If you are a patient, healthcare professional or student, family member, or creative artist who lives with, treats, or loves someone suffering or rising above a mental illness, we want to hear your story! The canvas is yours to help raise awareness about what mental illness is, and is not. Help us erase a stigma that is yet another misunderstood, fear-based definition of reality, and show that all of us are likely touched by mental illness in some way.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.

  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
