Why did Epilepsy Mommy go away?
You may have read our the column Epilepsy Mommy and wondered why it went away. It was a wonderful addition to Living Well With Epilepsy however, the author made the decision to step away from the position as featured writer. We wish her happiness and health in all her future endeavors.
Who is Epilepsy Mommy?
We are now looking for someone to cover the Epilepsy Mommy column. That person could be a mom living with epilepsy or a mom to a child with epilepsy.
Featured writers need to:
- Submit an article each month
- Have experience writing (blog, online, school, work, magazines, etc.)
- Be familiar with the Living Well With Epilepsy style
One last and important note, our featured writers are all volunteer positions. If you are interested in becoming our next featured writer, and increasing epilepsy awareness is as important to you as it is to us, send a note to info@livingwellwithepilepsy.com.
Thanks from the team at Living Well With Epilepsy.
