Write for Modern Women

Are you a woman who’s trying to figure it all out? Uncovering the intricacies of juggling the demands of life? Experiencing joy and struggle and accomplishment and uncertainty — or any other rollercoaster of emotions?

We’d love for you to write with us. Together let’s write our stories for the world to see what it’s like to be a woman navigating this modern world.

Types of Stories

Modern Women is a publication intended to elevate, inspire and empower women. We do this by sharing our heartfelt, down-to-earth and real stories.

Our publication accepts a broad range of stories about topics you care about. What you care about as a writer is likely what other women care about as a reader.

We organize our stories into these specific categories:

1. Self: Stories about you, life lessons, struggles, how-to’s, advice, memoirs, desires or anything that speaks to our relationship with ourselves. Tag: Self
2. Relationships: Stories about dating, partnerships, marriage, friendships, family relationships or any other kind of relationship. Tag: Relationships
3. Motherhood: Stories about anything and everything to do with motherhood from conception to empty nesting. Tag: Motherhood
4. Careers: Stories about your career, business or making a living in whichever way you choose to do. Tag: Careers
5. Society: Stories about the world and what matters to you such as feminism, politics, culture, beliefs, norms etc. Tag: Society

Every month we also offer a new writing prompt. You can learn more here:
