Focus on the Family Magazine: True, First-Person Stories
Do you have a real-life, true experience, or can write about a friend who has a personal true story, that can pull the reader in like fiction? Your piece should include a couple or a family, along with a faith element. We are looking for stories from real people about amazing events, such as how your family survived their house burning down during a blizzard and you give the credit to God. The true story should be traumatic, provable, and a good read. At this time, this call for submissions is only for North American authors.
