Storily Blog Submission Guidelines

To ensure your travel story fits Storily’s vision and inspires readers, please follow these guidelines when writing your blog:

Write about a personal travel experience that moved you emotionally or taught you something new. It can be international or local travel, any journey that left a mark on your heart.
Share what you felt: joy, surprise, discomfort, or curiosity. Highlight unique moments, such as a cultural difference, a memorable interaction, a new food, or a travel tip others can use.
Keep it authentic. We want your real story, not a generic travel guide.

Your blog should be 600-800 words (approximately 3,000-4,000 characters).
Write in simple, clear English to connect with readers worldwide, including non-native English speakers.
Use short paragraphs and a conversational tone to keep readers engaged.
Avoid overly technical terms or jargon unless they’re essential to your story.

Submit five high-quality photos from your trip (at least 1200×800 pixels, JPEG or PNG format).
Photos should relate to your story and capture its essence,people, places, or moments that stood out.
Ensure you have permission to share the photos, especially if they include other people.
Include a short caption (1-2 sentences) for each photo explaining its significance.

Be honest and heartfelt. Share what made your experience unique, even if it felt small or personal.
Avoid promotional content, advertisements, or overly commercial language.
Feel free to include humor, reflection, or lessons learned, but keep the focus on your story, not general advice.

Email your blog and photos to submit@storily.me
Include your full name, a short bio (50-100 words), and the location of your travel story in the email.
Use the subject line: “Storily Blog Submission – [Your Name]”.
You can paste your blog directly in the email body or attach it as a file. Attach photos separately.

If your blog is approved, you’ll be asked to make a minimum contribution of $50 (USD).
We’ll provide a bank account number for you to transfer the contribution at your convenience.
For those facing financial challenges, a limited number of free-entry spots are available. Email submit@storily.me with a brief explanation to apply.
Your contribution supports the author’s dream of traveling to 180 countries and sharing their stories. It is not a payment for your blog.

Our editorial team will review your submission for authenticity, clarity, and alignment with Storily’s mission.
You’ll hear back within 10-14 days of submission. If approved, we’ll share the bank account details for your contribution.
Once posted, your story will remain on storily.me permanently, inspiring travelers worldwide.

Focus on one specific moment or experience rather than summarizing your entire trip.
Edit your work for grammar and clarity, but don’t worry about perfection, we value your story over flawless English.
