Common Questions

Do I need to be a good writer?

Not at all. We work with your raw submission to craft the final version. Many of our most powerful stories came from people who said they "couldn't write."

How long does the process take?

Typically 2–4 weeks from submission to publication. This includes our editorial call, the drafting process, and your review and approval.

Can I use a pseudonym?

Yes, with our agreement. We prefer real names as they add authenticity, but we respect privacy needs and will discuss options with you.

What if I change my mind?

You can withdraw your submission at any stage before publication, and request removal after publication. We honour all such requests without question.

Is there a fee?

Absolutely not. Submitting and sharing your story is completely free, and always will be. We are a community platform, not a commercial publishing service.
