Submissions

Submit your work to be published in Living With Loss™ Magazine and help warm the hearts of others! The heartbeat of Living With Loss™ Magazine is the material YOU write and submit to us. Just as what you have read in LWL has touched and inspired you, your story can bring hope and healing to someone else. An honest approach with the overall goal of encouraging and uplifting others is our goal in offering the best resources possible to our readers.

Your article or poem may appear in the GIFT OF EXPERIENCE column. We call the Gift of Experience column an "open submission" column. This column features articles and poems from our readers and other writers not on our staff who want to share their perspectives and resources. We keep your submission and the signed writer's release form on file. If we decide to use your submission you will be notified with a LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE for publication noting the publication date. We appreciate your willingness and generosity in sharing your work and we apologize in advance that the sheer volume of submissions prohibits us from notifying you each time we receive your submission.
