A new year often comes with dreams refreshed, and new ideas on how we will follow through to turn these dreams into reality.
So what is your dream, your ambition, this year?
- That coveted degree or doctorate that will propel you ahead?
- Starting a career to become financially independent for the first time, or after a hiatus?
- Getting that start-up idea into reality?
- Achieving that promotion and a better pay package?
- Finally getting into your dream job?
- Breaking that glass ceiling?
- Becoming a mentor?
- Growing your business to the next logical step?
- Or changing tracks completely to overthrow a regular job and moving into a more meaningful to you alternative career?
Whatever it is, we wish you all the best! And tell us your story.
Why should I send in my story?
As a woman, you have a right to have your story heard. And think of it as spreading the joy of dreaming a dream and taking steps in the right direction. It’s always wonderful for every one of us to read and get inspired by what other women have done.
And while all stories will be published, we will also share on our social media handles those featured stories that make the Editor’s Pick list.
How do I share my story?
You could tell us your story as a personal account, or as a fictionalised version, between 500 to 1500 words. If you have any pics you want us to use in the piece, please email them to us at [email protected] once you have submitted your story. Put #WillNotBeStopped in the email subject line.
Log into your contributor dashboard and upload it with the hashtag #WillNotBeStopped alongside your title. If you aren’t yet a contributor with Women’s Web, it’s easy to register here.
Some important rules
~ This should be a previously unpublished story.
~ Once published on Women’s Web, you may not publish it in whole elsewhere, except for an excerpt with a link back to us. They will remain exclusive to us.
Is there a deadline?
Send in your stories by Sunday, 20th January, 11.59 PM. But we will begin publishing your stories as they come in even earlier, so do not let the deadline restrict you – and we will publish them till the end of February.
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and upload your story. We’re looking forward to it.
