**This will remain on top - please scroll down or look at the archives for the wonderful stories!**
I am inviting writers from all over the world to help me bring my sister to life. Within a few simple guidelines I am asking people to write short-stories that tell a day or an event in the life of my sister who never had the chance to live it herself.
I’ll provide a little background to help set things in motion, but for the most part I am leaving the subject matter open. In return, besides my thanks, I will give full credit and a link to each author. Stories will be emailed to me (either in the body of the email or as an attachment such as MS Word or a text format) and I will post them. IF I have a problem with a story I will discuss that with the author. Please also include how you want to be credited (first & last name, first name only, a screenname, or whatever) and the state and or country where you live (whatever makes you comfortable). Please look at the list of Contributing Authors on the left for examples.
All rights belong to the authors who submit the stories.
Please help me bring my sister to life!

No stories of her death – God wrote that one already.
*No Pornography* This is my sister!
Subject matter is up to the author, BUT I want to celebrate her life and allow her to be free of certain tragedies like childhood abuse or the loss of her own child.
Stories can be in any form, for example 1st or 3rd person, a letter, a diary or journal entry, a narrative story - really just about anything. They DO NOT have to include me (as Will). Just write what comes to you.
That’s it. Please help me. Thank you.
Please send stories to me here: Sam Wright
