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.

Common questions
Can I write under a pen name?
Yes. Pen names are welcome, and we never publish your email address or legal name.
Do I need to be an experienced writer?
No. You need something real to share. We edit lightly and keep your voice.
What kinds of posts do you publish?
True stories, fiction that is clearly labeled, opinion, how-tos and tips, and regular columns.
How long until I hear back?
We usually reply by email within a week. Check your spam folder in case our reply lands there.
Will my post go live right away?
No. Every post is reviewed before it is published, and nothing goes live until we have read it with you.
