Before collaborating with CRY, I didn't consider myself a writer. I just knew I had a story to tell, which I had occasionally done in writing. I met Kern and Safia early on in my recovery journey, in late 2020 or early 2021, shortly after deciding to quit my teaching career to pursue sobriety. First, as a published author, Kern pulled from his experiences to help me create a relevant book proposal to tell my story that has caught agents' attention. CRY could easily charge for their writing workshops and content and choose not to. Still, as an organization, it puts out a lot of high-value free opportunities for engagement because of its commitment to empowering writers and promoting storytelling. CRY's impact on my life as a writer has been priceless.

“I’ve been working with the incredible CRY team and I can not think of another person who is supportive and mindful and intuitive and just knows his stuff. CRY knows how to guide me through the process and so the fact that my book is getting closer to being in actual physical form makes my heart so happy and it’s been such a joy to work with Kern because he believes in my work and my dream.”

“I don’t remember how I found CRY Magazine, but from the moment I did, it seemed like a whole new welcoming community opened for me. CRY has not only hosted me well but has supported my writing in a way that makes me want to be a better writer. This space of sharing pain is not just me vomiting my suffering. People resonate and get it. I feel seen and heard. That matters to a biracial WOC because we are often erased and invisible. So, thank you for helping me breathe life into my writing.”

“Highly professional people blessed with creative mindset and helpful attitude. I got to work with them twice, and my experience was excellent. I tried my hands with them in different spheres of writing and learned a lot on my way of becoming an author.”
