Writers

At Ailment we are interested in encountering writers who embody their illness understanding in a way that invites readers into their worlds. Whether they are the diagnosed, the caretaker, or the healthcare provider, we want readers to enter their lives through their narrative, in a way that evokes the emotions of being a person affected by illness. With all of the joy, pain, fear, hope, and faith it takes to live with the reality of chronic illness.

The stories of these writers awaken revelations of Other in readers. Allowing readers to alight from their confined understanding of chronic illness; stepping into a revived, or perhaps new, perspective of illness.
