My Story $200USD
Tell us about a touching, inspiring or life-changing experience in your life. We’ll pay $200 for stories we publish in Reader’s Digest magazine.
- Your story must be true (no fiction, please).
- It should be previously unpublished.
- Aim for 800-1000 words in length.
- Familiarise yourself with the kind of pieces we run. Often, they focus on a single incident or theme in the life of the writer – dramatic, moving or humorous – and the events described made the writer re-evaluate his or her life in some way. And remember that a well-told tale still has a beginning, a middle and an end!
- Do not send us original or irreplaceable material. We cannot return submissions.
- We cannot give feedback or acknowledge receipt.
