It is easy to submit your own story on different-stories, and you should feel free to write what you feel comfortable sharing.

However, before you sit down and start writing, please read the following guidelines. As long as you observe them, your story will be published after a quick spelling and editorial check. Should we have any questions or issues with the language or content of your story, we will contact you and may ask you to revise parts of your story.

different-stories aims to share stories from people who feel different so that others can learn that they are not the only ones who feel this way. This can be on any topic, and you do not need to be a writer or author to submit your story. You can submit a story that you have published before, or you can submit the first story you have ever written.

Guidelines

• There is no minimum or maximum length.
• Your story must be useful to the readers of this website.
• Your story should be grammatically correct, but we will check this before publishing and can help you with this.
• Proofread your article before submitting it to us. Make sure to check your spelling and grammar.

Your story must NOT include

• content that is in any way criminal or supportive of criminal intentions.
• detailed description or glorification of violence.
• content that is in any way racist or discriminating.
• marketing-related links.
• references to people or places that would allow readers to find out personal details about anybody.
