Hi- I came across this blog and think your readers might be interested in submitting their work to Narrative Magazine- it publishes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art-- everything! And they also have some writing contests going on now that your readers might be interested in. Thanks!
Yes, I've seen "Recovering the Self: A Journal of Hope and Healing" and find the content excellent and varied.
Worth reading and contributing to.
