I‘m happy you’ve arrived on this page — it means you’re interested in reading what I would like for this publication, so thank you for that!

The purpose of this publication is to promote story writing — good, clean, hilarious, and engaging stories people will enjoy reading.

Your story should make someone laugh — or cry — or give pause — and be remembered long after they clapped and commented.

The guidelines below should help with that, but if you’re not sure, please do get in touch. I would hate to lose a talented writer because I wasn’t clear on something.

Hope to hear from you soon. I look forward to receiving your story.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

What I DO want:

  • Personal essays, memoirs — True Stories— ‘It happened to me’ stories — Good, wholesome stories.
  • Write the story as if you’re telling it to someone. Don’t leave out important details. Let them picture what you’re saying and feel as if they’ve lived through the story…
