This is an anthology of stories submitted by survivors of sexual assault, harassment, and domestic violence. It’s a means to speak out about what many endure in silence. Our mission is to break that silence and create something fierce and relevant. In this book you will enter the world of survivors. The terrain is uneven and rocky.

The journey from victim to survivor has formed a community of writers who are fearless in sharing their experiences.

Janet Pfeifer and Marie Posthumus founded Our Silent Voice as an anthology of poetry and micro-essays from writers across the country. It became clear that in writing our stories, our writers are on a journey to freedom from self-blame and stigma of assault.
