Survivor Stories
Submit Your Story
There are as many paths to healing as there are people walking them. We publish stories that show us these unique paths.
Storytelling comes in many forms. We’re interested in original writing, as well as visual art, videos and audio recordings by survivors that tell us honestly and bravely where they are in their healing. If you are a survivor who tells your story in a different form, we want to include you. Tell us about it.
We do not need happy endings or resolution.
We don’t insist you tell us the lesson.
We just know that sharing stories can be healing.
Healing is not a linear journey. It’s a never-ending path, like a spiral. No matter how many times you seem to circle back to the same old places, you’re always at a different level, finding new insights and making new meaning.
Show us your path.
Let us hear your voice.
We publish a new collection of stories every 3-4 months, and we are always open to submissions.
We Accept:
- Submissions from survivors over the age of 18
- One submission at a time
- Written pieces, including poetry and personal essays
- High-quality images of visual art and photography
- Video and audio recordings
You are welcome to submit under a pen name, if you wish to remain anonymous. We’re especially interested in sharing stories written by and for survivors, ages 18-26, from all backgrounds and experiences. We do not tolerate any form of racism, transphobia, misogyny, or homophobia here.
We will contact you with any requests, questions or edits prior to publishing your
story on the site.
We will honor your request to take down your published work for any reason.
