More Life Magazine

Submission Guidelines

Share your story of faith, hope and healing beyond cancer.

More Life Magazine is a bi-weekly Substack featuring stories of faith, hope and healing beyond cancer.

From patients and providers to family and friends, we share honest accounts that honor the multifaceted impact of cancer while highlighting the unchanging character of God.

We don’t deny the darkness after a diagnosis.

We point people to The Light darkness can’t extinguish.

What We’re Looking For

All submissions should align with the heart of More Life Magazine — sharing honest stories that reflect the cancer experience while pointing readers toward the hope, healing, and life found in Christ.

More Life Magazine welcomes stories and reflections related, but not limited to:

  • Life after diagnosis

  • Caregiving and co-survivor journeys

  • Grief and uncertainty

  • Purpose, perspective and identity shifts

  • Post-traumatic growth

  • Finding joy, peace and hope in hard places

  • Personal healing and pursuit of health

  • Advocacy, awareness, research, and early detection

  • Healthcare provider perspectives

  • Love, dating, marriage and parenthood

We welcome both completed testimonies and honest reflections from people still going through a season.

Submission Guidelines

You don’t need to be a professional writer to contribute and or have all the answers.

We are looking for stories marked by honesty, humility, transparency, compassion, and hope.

  • Written submissions should be original works that are between 600–1,500 words, though shorter reflections and creative pieces may fall outside of that range.

  • In addition to personal essays and testimonies, More Life Magazine also welcomes creative submissions including poetry, letters, and journal-style submissions. When possible, please include a short introduction or contextual note to help readers connect with the piece and its significance.

  • Each submission should include at least one anchor Scripture that encouraged, challenged, sustained, or grounded you during your experience.

  • Submission does not guarantee publication. Accepted pieces may undergo light editing for clarity, formatting, grammar, and alignment with the publication’s mission and standards.

If your submission feels aligned to the mission of More Life Magazine, we still encourage you to submit it for consideration.

It’s true what they say: your story will be someone else’s survival guide. Don’t keep them waiting.

 

There is hope for this season, support for your journey, and room for your story here.
