Purpose

While there is lots of information available about aging, anti-aging, menopause, etc., very little of it is truly written woman-to-woman. An even smaller portion of the writing and information that is available to women is written with the purpose to support positive and successful aging.

OlderWiserWomen: Our Journey (tentatively titled), is to be that book - written by and for women. It's about women telling their stories, transforming the negative images into positives ones. Its mission and purpose is to help women celebrate the transition, the growth, and the wisdom that occurs for us all age we age.

Stories

Story tellers will tell you there are many ways to tell a story. In a book, it is generally in the form of words ....prose or poetry. Some women chose not to write, or are unable to write.some of our stories will be in the form of interviews. The choice is yours.

The stories that will appear in print or digital media are for ALL women. We ask that writers refrain from political or sermonizing stories. The editorial committee at OlderWiserWomen will make the final determination of stories that are included.

The length will vary between the type of story telling that is done. However, prose should generally be kept to about 1500 words or less.
