Two And A Half Miles is pleased to announce a request for story submissions from the general public for its upcoming paperback “Off The Shelf”.
This is your opportunity to have your story told. We are looking for stories from survivors, heroes, cause driven individuals who have overcome horrific circumstances or have made a difference in people’s lives in the sex trafficking trade.
NOTES ABOUT YOUR STORY
◾Your story must be true!
◾Only staff from 2 ½ Miles will select story submissions
◾Your story should be submitted by email as text and not handwritten
◾Your story should be at least 500 words and no longer than 1,500 words
◾We want you to tell you story in your own words, in the first person.
◾If your story is selected by 2 ½ Miles, you may be interviewed by telephone to check on its authenticity.
◾You will be required to sign a release form for your story. However, all the names in your story (including your own name) will be changed, if you wish to remain anonymous.
◾After the interview, 2 ½ Miles will send you a copy of an edited version of the story. It will be reviewed by a professional writer and may emphasize some aspects of your story more and some aspects less, so the collection of stories will illustrate a wide range of experiences without being repetitive.
◾You will have the opportunity to review this final version and to confirm the story is factually accurate.
◾Your story will explain, extol and inspire the reader to understand, appreciate your heroism.
