Guidelines for Boomer Women Speak Submissions

Please follow these simple, yet very important guidelines when submitting your story to Boomer Women Speak for the OUR VOICES section.

• Stories only, please. We DO NOT accept articles or "how to" stories for the OUR VOICES section.
• True stories of 1,800 words or less that make the reader happy, sad, or any emotion in between.
• Written from the heart and give readers feelings of connectedness, encouragement, and/or support.
• No sermons, biographies or book excerpts.
• Be specific and draw the reader in by using particulars. Example: If you've moved across the country for your career, leaving a family and life-long friends behind:
  - How did you do it? Write about your feelings of the move, when you first told the family; Selling the house, your good-byes; arrival at your new home and your new job.
  - How did all of this affect your emotions, physical well-being, relationships, and values?
  - Was the move worth it? What did you learn from the experience? Any advice for others?
• Simultaneous submissions are accepted.
• Please only send your best and final work. We do not edit stories and they will be rejected if they contain errors.
• Please give us ample time to review your work. If you have not heard back from us in a month, then send an e-mail to dots@boomerwomenspeak.com with OUR VOICES in the subject line. Also, we must have your full name, the title of your story, and the date it was submitted for an inquiry.
• Please submit your story in a WORD attachment ONLY. Not in the body of an email. At the top of the story, include a short bio, web address, and email.
• Please put OUR VOICES in the subject line so that we know which publication you story is for (NABBW or BWS) and e-mail your story submissions to dots@boomerwomenspeak.com
