✍️ Reader Voices

Articles written by our readers: first-hand experiences, life stories and opinions. Your piece is checked and edited by our editors, published under your name, then translated into 19 languages and shared across 9 social media platforms — so the whole world can read your work. The next author could be you. Contributors with more than 10 published pieces who keep a regular schedule can also get a column of their own.

How to submit

1. Email your piece to [email protected] with the subject line "Reader Voices".
2. Write about anything: something you lived through, something you witnessed, a life story, or your view on current events. Any format works — text, photos or video; for text, 500–3,000 words is ideal, and please send photos as originals.
3. For video, a link is enough: if you have posted your own video on another platform, send us the link — we will download it and publish it here.
4. Sign with your real name or a pen name, and say which in your email. Your contact details are used only for verification and are never published.
5. All submissions — text, photos and video — must be your own original work. By submitting, you agree to let our editors edit and publish your piece. There is no payment; published pieces are credited to you. Unverified accusations, advertising and non-original work are not accepted.
6. We verify and edit every submission and usually reply within 3 days.
