Here’s what we publish:
Stories that are real and authentic. It can be about the car crash that you almost died in, the social justice beliefs that you are passionate about, the business failure you had, the birth story of your daughter, the body shame you are currently dealing with, the divorce you went through, the health scare that changed the trajectory of your life … as long as it happened to you, we want to hear it. No story is too small, mundane or insignificant. No story is too much or over the top.
It can be a deep, life altering experience like Jill Bolte Taylor’s Ted Talk “My Stroke of Insight” or a small yet powerful insight you had while coaching one of your clients.
We want your transformational, personal story, which means that we also want to hear your insights and jewels of wisdom so that you translate what happened to you and bring it to impact the reader’s own life.
If you submit a video, please keep it to less than 10 minutes.
We take poetry, spoken word and art submissions.
Here’s what we DO NOT publish:
We do not publish promotional pieces. Your story can be about the lessons you’ve learned from the work that you do, or something that happened in your business, but please refrain from promoting your latest course, blog post or Facebook group.
Please refrain from hateful speech and obscenities. Opinions are welcome, but not intolerant judgments and prejudices.
Sistership Circle is spiritual, but not religious, so please do not preach about your religious beliefs. You can tell a story about something that happened at your synagogue or church, but keep it respectful to all other religions.
Your writing must be original and not published on another website. If you repurpose content from an article you wrote in the past, it must have a new title and additional content to make it original.
Other important guidelines:
If you have any references, please include links to those original sites. If you use someone’s quote, be sure to credit them.
If you submit any images, make sure you have permission or rights, and that you give them credit.
Sometimes telling your story may upset and trigger others. Speaking up for what you believe in may not be the status quo and may create backlash. This is what leadership is all about; saying the unsaid. As Brene Brown calls it, “Braving the wilderness.” We support your truth … as long as it is respectful.
Please be patient with our process … we’ll try to get back to you as quickly as possible. We want to make sure we give you great feedback so that your story really shines, and that takes time.
