Tell Your Story — Submission Guide (Updated October 2022)
What we’re looking for and how to submit.
(October 2022 Update) ***TYS is now open for submissions from the 1st through the 15th of each month***
Thanks for visiting Tell Your Story.
We’re striving to be the home of the best narrative creative nonfiction on Medium.
We’re not an advice publication. Or a personal development publication. We don’t publish stories about quitting your day job so you can pursue your side hustle. You won’t find any tips and tricks for getting the most out of your morning routine here.
If your story contains overt advice, tips, or takeaways, it’s not going to be a good fit. But if there are subtle lessons buried in the narrative that your readers can discover for themselves, we’d love to check it out.
So what will you find?
Great writing. Stories that touch your emotions. Stories that don’t always wrap things up in a nice tidy bow. Stories that may or may not end happily ever after.
To get a good feel for what we’re really looking for, check out the pieces on the TYS front page. Not everything we publish gets front-page time — that space is reserved for the best of the best.
