Broken Levee Books wants your story for our next anthology.

Whether you are unable to come home or have chosen to leave New Orleans, we want to know what that means. What do you miss about New Orleans? What does it take for you to adjust? What is it like to live elsewhere in America? You may write your own story or agree to be interviewed.

It is time for your story to be told.

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
