The up-all-night\, covered-in-poop\, haven’t-showered-in-two-weeks parts. And we want the parts you love\, too. The first words\, the proud parent moments\, the things you never imagined. Or\, maybe you don’t want to be a mom\, or aren’t able to be a mom. We want those stories too. The struggles that have come with it\, or the freedom.\n** HerStry is always happy to share stories anonymously—if your story is selected for publication\, simply let your editor know you would not like your name shared **\nThe Rules: \n\nAll stories must be true and about you.\nStories must follow the theme in some way\, interpretations can be wide.\nStories must stay between 500–3\,000 words.\nDocuments should be double spaced\, 12Pt font with 1 inch margins.\nSubmissions must be in .doc or .docx form—we do not accept PDFs.\nPlease do not put your name on your manuscript. We realize in personal essays\, the author’s name often comes up\, so just use your best discretion.\nPlease include a third person bio. Cover letters are fine\, but not necessary (we don’t read them\, we’re more interested in what you’ve written).\nPlease submit only once per theme.\nWe do not accept previously published stories.\n\nHerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons.
