Video submissions: Up to 5 minutes.
Audio stories: Up to 5 minutes (MP3 format or link to hosted audio).
IVP Conversations™ (Interview Option):
If you would prefer to speak your story rather than write it, you can express interest in an IVP Conversation™ — a guided interview where your story is shared through conversation and published as an audio and written feature on the website.
Short bio: Please include a short author bio of less than 100 words.

If your story runs longer, consider submitting an excerpt or summary — our team may contact you to discuss a full feature

Who Can Contribute

We welcome stories from people whose voices are creating positive change in the world. You might identify as:

Survivors — sharing healing, resilience, and lived experience.
Creators — using art, words, or media to express truth and connection.
Entrepreneurs — building purpose-driven businesses or initiatives that inspire others.

If your story helps others see possibility, healing, or hope — we want to hear from you.

IVP Conversations™ (Interview Guidelines)

Conversations are guided, respectful interviews led by Rose Davidson
Designed for those who feel more comfortable speaking than writing
Focused on lived experience, insight, and transformation
The conversation will be edited and shaped into a written story for publication
You will have the opportunity to review and approve your story before it goes live

Language & Tone

✔ Write in your authentic voice — conversational, reflective, and true to your lived experience.

✔ Avoid coarse, explicit, or aggressive language, even if describing painful experiences. We aim to keep this space safe and accessible for everyone.

✔ If strong language is essential for accuracy or emotional truth, please use it thoughtfully and with context.

Respect & Sensitivity

We celebrate diverse voices and experiences. Please avoid hate speech, discrimination, or personal attacks.
Do not name alleged abusers, offenders, or other identifiable individuals. Focus on your journey, not on blame.
If your story contains potentially triggering material (e.g., violence, abuse, grief), we may include a gentle content note for readers.

What Happens Next

Every story is reviewed by our editorial team.
Approved stories may be lightly edited for clarity, grammar, or length — always with respect for your original message.
You’ll receive an email notification if your story is selected for publication.
For IVP Conversations™, you’ll review your story before publication

Final Thought

Your voice matters. Your story could be the light someone else needs to keep going.
Thank you for sharing your truth and helping us create a global community of stories that heal, teach, and inspire.

This is NOT the place to promote your service or product. I will promote a book if it aligns with the story you have submitted.
