Information & Timeline

The goal of this project is to publish “real stories” by “real women” that are touching and honestly refreshing, funny, deeply personal as well as thought provoking. 

We want stories that talk about overcoming obstacles, lessons learned and discoveries of perseverance through faith, anger, trials and tribulations. Through these stories, we want to motivate, encourage, and inspire.  

The story must be your own. 

Observe the following as you write:

1. Give all the relevant facts so that the reader can clearly understand what took place. 

2. Let the reader feel as if he or she were there, seeing the characters, hearing them talk, feeling what they felt.

3. The story should be true to the best recollection of the individual telling the story.

4. No copied news stories, etc. without written permission

Submissions should be full-length stories, at least 2500 words but no more than 5000 words or 5 pages.

Please include a short bio and clear headshot with submitted story.
