Writing Guidelines
Tag your story appropriately so others can easily access stories they are looking for. Use as many tags as you want to make your story more discoverable.
Respect other people’s privacy within your story. Do not use real names, addresses, or any other descriptor that would give away a person’s identity.
Conversely, try not to include any details or information that others could use to identify you. Try not to give real names of places where you live, work, or the name of the cancer center where you have been or are being treated at.
You are welcome to express yourself in a colloquial manner (including curses). Tag your story with #explicitlanguage if you use curse words.
Hate speech will not be tolerated.
Show tolerance and respect for writers whose views may differ from yours. It’s okay to have a different opinion, but it is not okay to personally attack another person.
We support all beliefs at More Than Breast Cancer and understand that spiritual and religious views vary. We respect and allow the right of all members to talk freely and openly about their beliefs as they relate to breast cancer.
Do not post advertisements or commercial solicitations.
Use the flag feature to notify us of inappropriate content or the breaking of guidelines.
Run your submission through a spell checker and do at least one read through before you submit. The less errors there are, the quicker it is likely to be published and the more likely it is to be read.
You will not receive any kind of remuneration for submitted content.
