Long answers are welcome. Specific moments, unfinished thoughts, humor,
contradiction, and ordinary detail are useful.
Write in your natural voice
Answer in your natural voice. Fragments are fine. You may write a lot in some
places and skip optional questions that don’t belong to your story.
You’ll review the finished profile
An editor may follow up, arrange the material, and lightly edit for clarity
while preserving your first-person voice. You’ll approve the finished profile.
Add photographs if you want
Portraits, everyday scenes, old photographs, details, and places are all
useful.
Add audio if you want
Upload one or more short audio reflections in your natural speaking voice.
Private
Your contact details, editorial notes, and anything you mark “don’t publish.”
Review
We’ll contact you before developing a profile and send the full piece for
approval.
First-person
The final story is presented in your voice, with your chosen name and public
details.
