Submit Your Story

Thank you for taking the leap and choosing to join our storytelling project.

Keep in mind that as we have a maximum of nine speakers at each event, we may not get to choose your anecdote right away, but we will endeavour to make sure every queer voice is heard and amplified in time. We want to hear your story!

Make sure your submission abides by our writing guidelines. If it doesn’t, it will be declined or sent back to you for editing. We will not read any story above 1300 words, so keep to the limit!

Please fill in the form below to send your story to us for review. We will reply to all emails; if you haven’t heard back from us in 72 hours, please DM us on Instagram or send us an email to vancouverqueerstories@gmail.com to let us know you’ve submitted a story!

If you have a question or need further help in getting your story off the ground, please use this contact form instead.

Name & Pronouns

Our mission is to amplify diverse voices across the 2SLGBTQ+ spectrum. Tell us a little more about you. If you identify as part of a further underrepresented group within the community (trans, BIPOC, disabled, etc), please let us know!

Write a short 2 to 3 sentence biography of yourself, as you’d like to be introduced on stage. Think of it like an Author’s bio on a book!

1. My story is a true anecdote.

2. My story is related to the theme I’m speaking at.

3. My story is 900 – 1300 words.

Which event do you wish to speak at? Please make sure you are able to be there in person on the evening of the event, ready to read your story to a small audience!

Paste your full story here! We will be in contact with you ASAP.

We want to create a record of as many speakers in our website to showcase the full kaleidoscope of the Vancouver 2SLGBTQ+ community. This could be a photo of individual speakers, group photos, and maybe even an audio recording of your story. We won’t add anything without your permission, so please let us know. (required)

Yes No I need to think about it
