We have new personal essay writing guidelines up! We’re open to submissions from free and paid Open Secrets subscribers. Yes, we pay. No, we don’t respond to submissions unless we’re interested (wait time: 3 months). ALL the details are in our writing guidelines linked below. Please tell all your friends who write essays or who are new to writing and might have a great true story to share.

We want to know about the funny, the horrible, the complex, and the curious actions you’ve taken, the surprising plot twists of your life, and what you’ve learned from them. We don’t just want to know that you did something, but why you did it and how it fundamentally altered how you think of yourself. We want readers to feel like they’ve peered into your soul and come away understanding who you are and, in the process, been made to think about their own humanity.
