I've opened up A Different Light for other writers' contributions. Why? Well I read something over at brokenclay.org by Katja that really got my attention. She quoted firecat, who wrote how it's better for a chorus of voices to speak up rather than a few voices - and how it allows those few voices to breathe. As much as I've enjoyed writing for A Different Light, I'd like to encourage other voices to speak up.
All works must be original pieces. I'm looking for poems, short stories and essays that describe the disability experience and speak from the heart. I will also start a new category for children's writings if I get pieces sent in - and don't forget that there's a children's stories and fables category if those appeal.
I will also consider putting up a page of artwork, videos, photos , etc. if anyone wants to submit those. Or any other form of expression you're interested in - let me know. The work has to be original or already on the public domain and without copyright issues.
I also put up a new (and free) header over there. Thanks to 100 pixel for it - very much!

What do you pay for submissions?
A reasonable question. Different Light is a noncommercial site and doesn't provide any revenue out of which to pay for submissions - so the answer is those who contribute will get what I've always made on my pieces - the satisfaction of sharing your experiences. :) This is by no means to say that I don't think peoples' work deserve payment - it's just not do-able.
