I am putting together a print-zine about living with disabilities.  It is called Don’t DIS My Ability and will be the second issue.  The only requirement is that the author/artist have a disability.  The publication date has not been set yet as Issue #1 has just been published, though I will let all submitters know when I plan to publish it (target date in appx 6-8 months which puts us around January - March 2013).

All people who get published will get a copy free! Send me your pictures, poems, essays, 1st hand accounts, critical analyses, etc.

email: dont dis my ability AT riseup DOT net

**EDIT:** I will be using the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License, which means they have to attribute you, can’t use it for commercial endeavours, and have to use it as is (no derivations). If you want a different copyright let me know.

I do not plan to make any money. I hope to recoup printing costs, but it will be for sale at info shops for as cheap as possible (I am going to be shipping it all over the US, England, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada too).

4. Listen to music that helps to lift your mood

5. Decide to be a winner – no matter what it takes
