A Message to Our Contest Participants:

To everyone entering The Journey to Survival Writing Contest:

Welcome.

You are not just submitting a story.
You are stepping into something much bigger.  You are joining The Journey To Survival.

At MJK Publishing Company, we are building more than books.
We are building a world of survival, healing, and inspiration, a place where real stories matter, where voices are heard, and where people who feel lost can begin to find themselves again.

Our platform, Raven’s Daily Journal, is a completely free blog created for those who are struggling, those facing abuse, addiction, heartbreak, loss, and everything life can throw at you. It is a space built on honesty, strength, and the belief that no matter how dark things feel, there is always a way forward.  It is a site that will be promoted with press releases, and it will provide completely free healing journals, books and other items.  It will provide coloring book pages to children who are brought in from a scary situation, a tragedy, a death, an abusive situation.

And that’s where you come in.

Your story, your voice, your truth,
could be the very thing that helps someone else keep going.

We are not looking for perfect writing.
We are looking for real stories that carry meaning, emotion, and strength.  Stories that we can interview and feature our best stories of things that inspired us to become writers!

Because writing, writing was the tool that helped us begin our own journey.

Writing brought Atlas to me, here in California.
It helped us heal.
It helped us survive.
It helped us grow into who we are becoming.

But it is also helping us, forgive ourselves, one day at a time.

Now, we want to share that same opportunity with you.

As a family-owned blog page, we are actively looking for voices to feature, stories to share, and creators to grow with us. Through our blog and future projects, we want to bring real stories to real people, stories that remind them they are not alone.  One story might change someone’s life forever.

If you’ve ever felt like your story didn’t matter, this is your moment to prove that it does.  Whether you are a brand-new author, or an author with dozens of books, this is for all of you!

Be bold. Be honest. Be you.

Most importantly, be part of something that could inspire someone else to keep going, or to turn to writing to begin to heal.  To sort out the bad.  To write it down, forgive it, and burn it so they never have to think about it again.

This is more than a contest.  This is a movement.  This is a journey.

And we would be honored to have you walk it with us.
