Some Guidelines

Warrior stories are first person essays: 900–1,500-word stories, reflecting on the insights and issues you’ve experienced with fertility —and the wisdom you’ve gained along the way. They address a specific pain point of fertility that you have been through or are going through right now, like what going through IVF was like and what you wish you had known sooner or how you struggled with feeling alone, but how finding support helped. They help others realize they’re not alone. They inspire other warriors with stories of meaning and hope. All stories must be proofread! To submit your personal story, please fill out the form below.
