Now Collecting Parenting Stories
Stories From Parenting
We're collecting short, true parenting stories for a future published Stories From Parenting book. Send us the funny, chaotic, tender, exhausting, humbling, and unforgettable moments that become family stories for years.
How it works
Submit your story
What's your story? Share it using the submission form.
We read and curate
We look for stories with heart, humor, honesty, and a strong fit for each community collection.
Collections are published
Your story could be selected for publication and preserved in one of our community collection books to be read by others for generations to come.
Parenting stories we're looking for
You don't need a perfect essay. You just need a moment.
Just tell us what happened, who was there, why it mattered, and what stayed with you.
What contributors receive
Everyone who submits a story will receive 10% off a future Stories From book order.
If your story is selected for publication, you'll receive one free Author Edition copy of the book featuring your story!
Submitting a story does not guarantee publication.
Selected stories may be edited for length, clarity, privacy, tone, and fit.
Privacy first
Please avoid using full names or identifying details about families or private situations unless you have permission. Changed names and general descriptions are completely fine. We want real stories told with care.
Books that give back to families
10% of profits from Stories from Parenting will be donated
to a nonprofit supporting families & children.
We'll announce the nonprofit partner before or when the book becomes available.
Have a parenting story you still think about?
If a moment has stayed with you, there's probably a reason. Send us the story. We'll take it from there.
