How to Submit

A Little Advice with Submitting Personal Stories

Personal stories are often the hardest and most unfamiliar to write, so here is a little advice if you are interested in submitting!

We are interested in your story, not a reported voice or opinion piece, but the way you would tell it to your friends or family. We want to hear your voice. To that extent, we will work with you to make sure that the story you are telling is coherent and fully developed, but written, recorded, or created with your own style and tone.

How to Get Started

Get out a piece of paper and a pen and start with a simple brainstorm. Consider the following tips and questions as you think:

Own your experience and perspective. Think about the story that only you can tell. What makes your life narrative unique? What do you wish others knew about it?

Find your hook. What unique perspective do you have on the topic you are telling us about?

Nervous? Don’t Be. We Will Support You.

We will speak with you about the piece that you want to produce to help you generate the story you want to tell.

After you submit your work to us, we will provide edits and suggestions.

After you complete the edits, we will ask you for a headshot and a short biography.
