Writers For Humanity

“Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.” – Theodore Dreiser, 1900

Have you got a great inaudible feeling in you? What sort of purpose drives you to write? How deeply can you connect with the universal through your writing? If you can give great answers to all of these questions, then we need you to submit a piece of writing to Writers For Humanity on World AIDS Day, 2007.

We are calling for you to enter your piece to help us raise money for The Global Fund, an organisation dedicated to allocating the funds needed to combat AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis around the world.

Submissions to Writers For Humanity are not genre-specific, as the capacity to tell a story that captures the essence of the prevailing human spirit is possible to portray in any form of writing. Short stories, essays, anecdotes and true to life accounts are only the tip of the iceberg – we want your tale.

Submissions must be related to the overall theme of a common humanity, yet entries related to the specific topic of AIDS are highly encouraged.

To have yourself stand out more in The Blog Honour Roll, the catalogue for entrants of Writers For Humanity’s World Aids Day 2007 event, please submit a short biography of any length up to 500 words, along with a photo/promo shot (can be a jacket design or flyer) of approximately 200 x 200 pixels in size.

All pieces will be voted upon by the Web For Humanity audience via online polling, for ultimate inclusion in the inaugural two-CD Music For Humanity boxed set, to be made available through online publisherLulu.com on December 10, 2007. 100% of all profits from the sale will be donated to The Global Fund.

Please be advised that profane or erotic content will not be linked to. All submissions must be entered no later than 11pm on Friday, November 30, 2007, for inclusion on the day. We look forward to your submission, and wish you good luck with your entry.
