Submission Guidelines

What's Your Bright Story?

Bright Story Shine is looking for submissions of 500-750 words that highlight perspectives on addiction recovery, trauma recovery, recovery support, faith and related topics.

I respectfully ask that you please refrain from using stigmatizing language. 

The majority of the submission can focus on (but is not limited to):

• Specific ways your recovery is supported/how you support others in recovery

   

• Leadership roles and Advocacy opportunities you have been involved in

   

• Recovery support services you have accessed or created and how these services have been helpful

   

• Other topics related to how you maintain your recovery

  ​

You will be notified only if your submission has been selected for publication. If you have not heard back from me in 4-6 weeks, please assume that your submission was not a good fit at this time. I may contact you in the future. Please keep writing! 

​

All submissions of 500-750 words can be sent to brightstoryshine@gmail.com.

​

Please include "Submission" and title of work in the email subject line.

​

Also, include your name or if you prefer to remain anonymous.
