Do you have a story that speaks to the pressing issues of our time?

Commonspace is looking for true, personal accounts that respond to some of today's hottest topics.

Pitch us your story!

Summarize your full experience in the box below (250 words) to be considered for an upcoming Commonspace live event or broadcast.

Pitches should:

• Be inspired by your real-life experiences
• Focus on structure and action of the story
• Have a strong arc with one attention-grabbing beginning, absorbing middle, and clear ending or resolution
• Relate to one of the following themes: Veterans, Setting the Record Straight, Gender Identity, Pregnancy/Abortion/Adoption, Putting the "Fun" back in "Funeral," and Mothers/Daughters. Don't have a story on those themes? Join us for free as an audience member! More info on themes here.
