Write for Sissy Life

The best things on this site come from people living it. If you have a story, a how-to, or something to say, we would love to publish it — under your name or a pen name.

What we are looking for

You don’t need to be a writer. You need to have something real to share.

True stories

Your own experiences — first times, coming out, the moments that changed things.

Fiction

Short stories and serials. Clearly labelled as fiction.

Thoughts and opinion

What you think about identity, relationships, the community, and how the world treats us.

How-to and tips

Makeup, wigs, shoes, dressing, going out safely — what you learned the hard way.

A regular column

Something you would write about every month. Tell us the idea and we will talk it through.

How we write here

  • Be specific. The detail is what makes a story feel true. Say what happened, what it felt like, what you would do differently.
  • Write the way you talk. We edit lightly and keep your voice.
  • Your own work only. No copied stories, and only photos you took or have permission to use.
  • Be kind, even when you disagree. Everyone here is at a different point in their journey.

What we protect

Privacy matters more here than almost anywhere.

  • Pen names are welcome. We never publish your email or legal name.
  • Never name, picture or out anyone without their permission — partners, friends, employers.
  • Change the details that could identify someone: towns, workplaces, venues.
