Tips for a successful Every Story submission

Submissions to the Every Story series are true stories about extraordinary or special people whose unique contributions have gone unnoticed or were particularly touching during difficult periods in life experienced by us all, and deserve recognition and a place of honor. Stories that touch the reader’s heart and lift their spirit. These are personal stories expressing emotion and feeling that will capture the reader’s imagination and bring hope to others in similar circumstances. Hope that they too will be able to have success in their lives or that things will simply be okay. The stories will be inspiring because they'll demonstrate that someone else has walked in their shoes and not only survived but also thrived. To cover the range of human emotions is the making of a good story.

Guidelines for Story Submissions

1. Story submissions should induce emotion, feeling and even provoke the reader’s imagination.

2. Your story can detail a funny, exciting or even sad event that happened to you personally or someone you know.

3. You may wish to include some action in describing the problem, circumstances or situation. Try having one or more characters express themselves through dialogue to voice their feelings or emotions. The ending may have a twist, a lesson to be learned or revelation to inspire others.

4. Lastly, as they always say, write what you know. Your story is important, so remember to speak from your heart.
