Submissions!

We are accepting submissions of creative writing (prose and poetry, fiction or nonfiction) relating to suicide prevention and mental health - whatever that means to you. This could include pieces that directly deal with suicide, ones about mental illness, or just about hard times and situations - it's really up to you. Please include trigger warnings where they are necessary; our editors can help if you are unsure of which are needed.

You are welcome to submit longer pieces (~1,000+ words) but when we post it on the blog or put together our book collection, we will excerpt your piece. On the blog, we can still link to your full piece if you would like. If you have an idea of how you would like your piece excerpted, let us know when you submit it.

Please submit pieces to hopeislivingnow@gmail.com with the subject line "Submission."
