Share Your Story

Because every story matters.

1. Why Your Story Matters

At Letters From Humanity, we believe that real stories have the power to bring people closer — to remind us that we’re not alone, that compassion still connects us, and that truth, when shared, can heal and inspire.

Every letter we send begins with someone’s lived experience — an honest moment, a lesson, a memory, or a glimpse of humanity that deserves to be heard.
When you share your story, you help others see the world a little more clearly. You add to a growing archive of real voices that reflect the depth, resilience, and beauty of being human.

Your story matters because it’s true.
And when truth is shared with care, it changes things.

2. What We’re Looking For

We welcome personal, true stories that speak to the heart of human experience — moments of kindness, loss, growth, connection, or renewal.
Stories can be from any perspective or background, but they should always be:

Authentic: Rooted in real life, told from your own experience or observation.
Respectful: Thoughtful in tone and considerate toward others involved.
Reflective: Focused on what was learned, changed, or understood.
Non-promotional: This is not a space for marketing, self-promotion, or fiction.

Stories may be lightly edited for clarity or length, but the voice and truth always remain your own.

3. Protecting Your Privacy

To protect your privacy and the privacy of others, we may change names or identifying details before publication.
If your story is selected, our editorial team will contact you to confirm details and ensure you’re comfortable with how it will appear.

We take truth seriously. While we verify every story to the best of our ability, we understand that memories and perspectives differ — what matters most is honesty and heart.

4. How to Share Your Story

If you’d like to share your story with us, please email:
📬 mystory@lettersfromhumanity.com

When writing, please respond to the story prompts below.
They’re meant to help you uncover the essence of your life’s experience.

You must answer all prompts — but you can write as much or as little as feels right.
What matters most is that it’s true.

Story Prompts

What happened — and when did you realize it was a story worth telling?
What was life like before this moment or experience?
What changed — what challenge, event, or turning point occurred?
How did this experience make you feel, and how did it change you?
Who or what helped you along the way (a person, a belief, a realization)?
What truth, lesson, or understanding did you carry forward from it?
If someone else were living through something similar, what would you want them to know?
How has this story shaped how you see yourself, others, or the world?

5. What Happens Next

Our team reads every submission with care.
If your story is selected, we’ll reach out directly to discuss next steps and confirm any final edits before it’s shared.
Whether published or not, your submission is received with gratitude and respect.

6. How Your Story Gives Back

When a story is selected and published, proceeds from its letter purchases go directly toward the organizations we support that restore the well-being of the planet.

Through these partnerships, your story helps:

Plant endangered trees in regions where forests are disappearing.
Clean up plastics polluting our oceans and waterways.
Rebuild living soils by returning vital nutrients to depleted land.

Every story shared becomes part of this restoration — helping regenerate both the human spirit and the earth we depend on.

7. Thank You

Every story shared is a gift.
By telling your story, you help build a collective reminder of what it means to be human — real, imperfect, connected, and alive.
Thank you for trusting us with your words and your truth.
