Midlife on Fire is a nonfiction anthology presented by The GLOW Project (Glorious Ladies of Writing) to showcase the ways in which women during midlife are unapologetically kicking ass.
This anthology showcases stories from writers who experience this potentially tumultuous part of their lives as a reordering, maybe a reckoning, and always as a rebirth as vital voices in the dialogue of life, love, and art.
