We are accepting submissions for our new publication on Substack!
Submissions will be accepted for Midstory Magazine on a rolling basis. Submit your writing below.
Midstory Magazine is seeking personal essays about life, love, loss, and friendship at midlife.
We are now accepting personal essay submissions for Midstory Magazine about life, love, loss, and friendship at midlife. These stories could incorporate coupling and uncoupling, keeping and ending friendships, and grieving the loss of relationships or loved ones during this messy middle of life. We are looking for a strong, clear writing voice and raw, honest storytelling, in keeping with our mission to elevate the voices of midlife women.
We are also accepting submissions for our "Unsent Letters" column. Do you have an unsent letter — to a first love, to a long lost relative, to an unhelpful colleague, to a stranger who has wronged you —somewhere in your drafts folder or in an old notebook? Submit a letter (anonymous, if you choose) to us.
Preferred word count: 750-2000 words
Pay: $50 for accepted essays
Completed drafts only. No pitches, please.
As our publication grows, one of our first priorities is to increase the pay rate for our writers to $100.
Please allow at least 4 weeks for a response.
