"The writers whose work appears in What No One Ever Tells You invite readers to feel all the emotions they grapple with: sadness, loneliness, fear, and ultimately hope."

Amy Swauger, Executive Director
Teachers & Writers Collaborative – Brooklyn, NY


"I believe in writing and the transformational power of words. Sharing our stories connects us, and we all benefit when we take time to listen. What No One Ever Tells You offers an anthology of voices ready to be heard, so read on and hold space for the words within."

Elizebett (Liz) Eslinger, Executive Director
Write Around Portland – Portland, OR
