Since early February I’ve been publishing my six-chapter travel memoir about a trip to Italy’s Cinque Terre in 2008. That has concluded, except for a bonus peek behind the scenes at the structure of that memoir that I’ll publish next week.

But enough about me! What have YOU been writing?

I’m eager to feature the work of other writers on this blog. I’m looking for brief, true stories from life. I’m also open to book reviews, opinion pieces, questions or advice about writing… follow this link to view my submission guidelines.

I’m happy to receive your submission any way that’s convenient for you to send it–in the body of an email, as an attached document, handwritten on a scrap of paper–if you’re interested, we’ll figure it out. Posts are accompanied by an image (if you don’t provide one, I’ll find something) and a short bio of the author. You retain copyright to any essay you write that I publish on True Stories Well Told.

I started this blog at the beginning of 2011 just to explore the medium. I found publishing a blog to be a great addition to the ways I live my mission, which is to create the conditions for “ordinary” people to share their extraordinary life experiences.

I’d love to hear about yours!
