Body Gossip has already provided support and inspiration to thousands by broadcasting stories written by people like you. Our celebrity cast have given a voice to real stories at theatres and events, and also on film for our YouTube channel.
Now, for the first time, we are compiling a selection of these stories for our forthcoming book and we would love to hear from you. We want stories that will inspire, encourage and reassure; stories about how you have coped with your own issues, and overcome adversity; stories about media pressure and conformity; or just stories about the bits of you that you love, or hate, the most.
If you want to share, we want to listen. You could write a story, a duologue, a poem, a rap, or even song lyrics - whatever you want. The style of each piece is up to the writer, but each entry should be no more than 1,500 words. There is no minimum length - it can be as short as you like!
Need some inspiration?
We have come up with some headings to inspire you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel your story fits any particular heading - send it to us anyway!
