Story Submission Guidelines

Understanding what we look for helps us both

Our Story DNA

For over 25 years, DailyGood has shared stories that illuminate the good in our world — not as escapism, but as a witness to what emerges when we lead with our hearts. We look for narratives that weave personal experience with universal wisdom, that acknowledge life's complexities while revealing how compassion, creativity, and quiet courage create change.

What We're Looking For

Stories that...

  • Begin with the intimate and open toward the infinite
  • Balance head, hands, and heart — offering both insight and feeling
  • Use metaphor, parable, or personal experience to reveal larger truths
  • Show rather than tell — let the story carry the teaching
  • Honor the unknowable alongside the actionable
  • End with invitation, not prescription — opening a door for the reader to walk through

Content That Resonates

The Voice We Love

  • Poetic without being precious
  • Philosophical without being dense
  • Warm, reflective, and occasionally playful
  • Trusting the reader's intelligence and heart

What Doesn't Fit

  • Corporate PR, promotional content, or achievement-focused success stories
  • Content that measures only external impact without inner transformation
  • Stories that are prescriptive, preachy, or conclusive
  • Partisan political advocacy (we welcome bridge-building across divides)
  • Toxic positivity that bypasses real struggle or grief

Submission Basics

  • Length: 600–1500 words (we may edit for length and flow)
  • Tone: Like sitting with a wise friend — contemplative, honest, spacious
  • Structure: Consider beginning with story, moving to insight, ending with opening
  • Attribution: Include the original source if syndicated; note if this is an original piece
  • Images: Share photos you have rights to use (with photographer credit)

The DailyGood Test

Before submitting, ask yourself:

Does this story leave the reader feeling more connected to their own capacity for good? Does it reveal rather than instruct?

If yes, we'd love to read it.
