My Story  

Tell us about a touching, inspiring or life-changing experience in your life.

  • Your story must be true (no fiction, please).
  • It should be previously unpublished.
  • Aim for 800-1000 words in length.
  • Familiarise yourself with the kind of pieces we run. Often, they focus on a single incident or theme in the life of the writer – dramatic, moving or humorous – and the events described made the writer re-evaluate his or her life in some way. And remember that a well-told tale still has a beginning, a middle and an end!
  • Do not send us original or irreplaceable material. We cannot return submissions.
  • We cannot give feedback or acknowledge receipt.
