Writers for rare

Call for Chapter Submissions

About the Writers for Rare Book Project

Writers for Rare is an anthology of stories told from different perspectives in the rare disease space: patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and industry allies.

We’re looking for personal stories that inspire, educate, and give voice to the challenges and triumphs of the rare disease experience. We’d specifically like stories that:

  • Share authentic and honest experiences of living with a rare disease—or providing care or treatment for someone who does.

  • Explore the emotional territory and practical realities of living with a rare condition.

  • Provide helpful insights and valuable lessons learned from your experience in the rare disease space.

  • Offer words of encouragement to those in the beginning stages of their rare disease odyssey.

Writers for Rare is slated for publication in August 2025. The submission deadline for chapter consideration is May 5, 2025.
