Wouldn't it have helped you if you had heard from someone going through a similar situation, while you were in the midst of your particular life challenge? Especially if they came out of it happier? Writing our stories truly was cathartic for us, and we feel it can be for you too. Sharing helps. It's that simple.
So, if you're so moved, tell us your story. Drop your bombshell. We would love to hear from you. We want to know about your experiences and your struggles, from the tears to the fears and the ways in which you've found strength, hope and transformation, even when you thought it was not possible.
When thinking about whether your story is worth sharing, check in with these key words:
* Inspiration
* Uplifting
* Relatability
* Shock
* Laughter
* Tears
* Transformation
* Hope
The best stories are those that transport the readers through the particular situation or issue at hand. Stories also need to have heart, soul and the sharing of learned wisdom. As you're crafting these, please make sure to include a beginning, middle and end (closure).
Check out the list of potential books we're planning and see if your story fits into any of them:
Working Subjects For Books:
* Bombshell Stories of Marriage
* Bombshell Stories of Parenting
* Bombshell Stories of Love
* Bombshell Stories of Work
* Bombshell Secrets
* Overcoming Bombshell Challenges
* Bombshell Dreams realized
* Bombshells of Life
If you have a great story but you are not sure what topic it would go under,
please submit under this heading.
* Camp Bombshell
Did you go to Camp Bombshell and, after attending, found that your life
changed in some way? We are looking for stories on how Camp brought
positive transformation in your life and what, specifically, happened to you
after you left. Did you have an "aha" moment at camp, or after you got
home?
* Transformational Bombshells
If your life transformed because of something other than Camp, tell us that
story.
If you choose to share your story, feel free to do it anonymously (as we did with some of our stories), or if you're ok with it, you can sign your name. That's your call!
Guidelines:
• Stories should be true (non-fiction)
• Length: ranging in length between 350-1300 words.
If you think you're up this exciting project, but writing just isn't your "thing"...not to worry. Send us bullet points, outlining where you were, where it took you emotionally, how you felt while you were experiencing it, and what it took to get you to the other side. You can even just write a paragraph incorporating the main points of your "story". If we want to know more, we'll be in touch to pick your brain further.
Submit your story by going to the link at the bottom of this page and make your subject line one of the subjects listed above.
If your story is chosen for one of our books, you will even GET PAID (although we don't know how much yet). At that point we'll get your written permission to print your story.
Thanks so much for being a huge part of this magic. Together we can touch lots of hearts and create joy for many other women, just like us. |
