In June of 2009, while on vacation in the Pennsylvania mountains with my wife and three-year-old son, I received a phone call from my employer informing me that I no longer had a job. Earlier this year, I wrote about my experience in a three-part essay series titled “Death of a Good Job” for Thought Catalog. I’m currently at work collecting the essays into a zine/micro memoir, and I want to do so in a way that contrasts my individual experience with those of others who have lost jobs in recent years.
Call for submissions: Looking for personal stories from individuals who lost a job in the months and/or years following the stock market crash of 2008. The submissions will be edited and published in the epilogue to Death of a Good Job, a zine/micro memoir that will be independently published sometime in 2012.
