I heard about this through the grapevine (read: another writer) and thought I’d share….if you decide to give it a go–all the best! I don’t personally know anything about this project, but it sounded interesting…

From the site:

This website’s aim is to gather stories about what we have learned from our mothers, how we feel about it, and how it affects the way we live our lives. These stories will be collected into a book, tentatively titled Wisdom of Our Mothers. Fifty percent of the profits from the book will be donated to shelters for mothers and their children escaping from abusive relationships.

If your work is accepted, you will be paid $100 per story upon publication of the book. (See FAQs for other payment options.)
