Who can submit?
Any person who is affected by breast cancer may submit a written piece.

What should I write?
Anything! Any experience after your diagnosis is fair game. You can write a short story, a journal entry, a blog post, or even a poem; the options are endless.

By submitting a story, you certify the following is true:
*You are the sole creator of the submission
* You grant More Than Breast Cancer the right to publish your submission on MoreThanBreastCancer.com
* You grant More Than Breast Cancer the right to use all legal means available to protect your published work from unauthorized use by other parties

Writing Guidelines
*Tag your story appropriately so others can easily access stories they are looking for. Use as many tags as you want to make your story more discoverable.

*Respect other people’s privacy within your story. Do not use real names, addresses, or any other descriptor that would give away a person’s identity.

*Conversely, try not to include any details or information that others could use to identify you. Try not to give real names of places where you live, work, or the name of the cancer center where you have been or are being treated at.

*You are welcome to express yourself in a colloquial manner (including curses). Tag your story with #explicitlanguage if you use curse words.

*Hate speech will not be tolerated.

*Show tolerance and respect for writers whose views may differ from yours. It’s okay to have a different opinion, but it is not okay to personally attack another person.

*We support all beliefs at More Than Breast Cancer and understand that spiritual and religious views vary. We respect and allow the right of all members to talk freely and openly about their beliefs as they relate to breast cancer.

*Do not post advertisements or commercial solicitations.

*Run your submission through a spell checker and do at least one read through before you submit. The less errors there are, the quicker it is likely to be published and the more likely it is to be read.

*You will not receive any kind of remuneration for submitted content.

Moderation Policy
*More Than Breast Cancer is a safe space to talk about your breast cancer and surrounding experiences and it’s important to us to maintain a safe and open online community.
*We monitor submissions to avoid potentially misleading or harmful information or other users who do not comply with our terms of use.
*Submissions do not appear immediately. They are screened prior to active posting and may be modified or declined if they violate our terms of use.
