Join the Revolution. Tell Your Story.
We are proud to have published stories from women all around the world. We accept all types of stories as long as they are true and about you. No topic is off limits!
HerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons. We’re looking for work from bigender/polygender persons, cisgender women, intergender persons/intersex persons, non-binary persons/gender non-conforming persons, transgender women/transfeminine persons, two-spirit. In other words, if you are a cis man, please refrain from submitting.
We nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of Net.
A few things we don’t want to see:
Tear down pieces
Racist material or hate speech
Explicitly sexual material (In other words, please don’t send us porn)
Overly violent material
HerStry does not accept previously published pieces.
personal essays - Paying (Starting in 2022)
HerStry publishes personal essays every Wednesday. Personal essays are a way for our writers to tell the stories they want to tell. There are no rules. No themes. As long as the story is true and about you, we want to read it. Nothing is off limits (well, some things are off limits, see above).
Starting in 2022 HerStry will pay $10 for every published personal essay. Because of that, we now have a $3 submission fee to help cover costs and to pay our wonderful editors. We have a free submission period one weekend a month. Please be advised that we have a limited number of free submissions and once they are gone they are gone.
The Rules:
Stories must be true and about you
Stories must be between 500 - 3,000 words
Stories should be double spaced, with 12pt font, Times New Roman or Calibri (get out of here Comic Sans!)
Stories are read blind. Please DO NOT put any identifying material on your manuscript. Manuscripts that don’t follow this rule will be automatically disqualified without being read.
Stories must be submitted as word documents of some sort. PDFs will not be considered
Stories must be submitted with a short bio and photo of the author
No poetry, please
*** In order to let as many people submit as possible please only submit one story at a time. Do not submit again until you hear from us. Duplicate submissions will be deleted without being read. ****
