Because we know that every person affected by epilepsy has a creative and unique talent within themselves, we would like to provide the opportunity for expression.

• If you are a painter or a poet we wish to hear from you.
• If you write short stories, or essays, or song lyrics, or plays we wish to hear from you.

Last year we accepted poetry submissions for our Poetry Corner. This year we were inspired to expand our corner to a Showcase that can provide an opportunity for many more of you to participate. We received a story from Jane Jackson called "The Power Within You." It tells of her frightening account with seizures and how she came to a place in life that enabled her to help others.

Share with us your stories, your art, your poetry, your creativity. Our editorial team will look over all submissions and you will be notified as to when your piece might appear. Your work will become a feature on a rotating Showcase schedule basis. Please submit work to : webmaster@epilepsy.com
