A collaborative writing project
about the project
Write and share the real story of life in a body with a long-term health condition or chronic illness.
Your body, your truth, your story.
What do you think we should know about it?
Valk Fisher lives with type 1 diabetes and has been writing her own version of life with diabetes since she was diagnosed. A doctor encouraged her to do this. Broken Body Love Letters exists to pass this on.
why this project?
Forget what you are told, about what a diagnosis supposedly “means.”
What does it mean to you?
tongue-in-cheek
Our bodies are not actually broken. There are no broken bodies, just faulty scripts.
With a Broken Body Love Letter, you create your own narrative.
can i share?
No body is too invisibly sick.
If you are called to share the story of your body in a (long-term) health condition, welcome.
your story: in a book
Selected letters will become part of a published collection — a book of broken body love letters, gathered from voices everywhere.
If you’d like your words to be considered, let us know when you submit.
