Story Second Chances is not your typical publication. We exist to support each other as writers in our shared quest to grow in our ability to reach others with our writing. Keep reading to find out how you can participate.

The elevator pitch

Take one of your already published stories that didn’t perform as well as you thought it should. Write a new post with an introduction to your story and then link to it wherever it is currently published.

Look through Story Second Chances at the stories other writers have posted. Read a few and leave a comment for the writers with constructive praise or suggestions for improvement. Other writers will do the same for your story leading to a positive feedback loop of exposure for all our hidden gems and advice to improve our writing and reach.

Why do we need this publication?

All of us have the experience of writing something we are quite pleased with. It goes live and we wait for the views and reads to flood in but instead receive a trickle of what we expected.

Why?

The older I get, the less I know. That won’t stop me from writing about everything and anything under the sun. Join me in delighting and despairing about life.
