Write for SHE IS UNTAMED
A call to action for writers who would like to contribute to SHE IS UNTAMED: A reclamation movement for midlife mothers and their daughters.
This magazine was never meant to be one woman's voice. It's a chorus of many, a sacred song sung from the burning hearts of our ancestors. A culmination of sacred rage and fire.
She Is Untamed is built on a single belief: that when one woman tells the truth out loud, she gives every woman watching permission to do the same. So we're not looking for polished think-pieces or expert takes. We're looking for the real thing. We want the story you've only half-told, the pain in the middle, the lesson that cost you something.
We want you to share your truth, unfiltered.
What we publish:
Original drafts.
Honest, first-person writing about grief, identity, relocation, motherhood, ambition, self-trust, starting over, and the exhaustion underneath a life that looks fine from the outside. Talk about the lie you were sold and how it impacted you. Talk about the life you rebuilt. Talk about how you're in the middle of rebuilding...
What we don't want:
Toxic positivity. Bypassing. Listicles. AI Generated Content. Don't wrap a hard truth in a bow. If it pretends, it doesn't belong here.
What you get:
- A byline and link to your own author page on She Is Untamed
- Your work in front of a growing audience of women
- The chance to be featured on our YouTube channel! We bring select pieces to life on camera, putting your words in front of an even wider audience
- To be part of the reclamation, and one of the voices building the magazine we all needed when we were growing up
You have to have something true to say.
How to pitch:
Send a short note to stephanie@sheisuntamed.com with:
- What you'd write about (a sentence or two with the truth at the center of it)
- Why it matters and why it matters now
- A little about you (and a link to anything you've written before, if you have it, but that's not required)
That's it. No fee, ever. If it's a fit, you'll hear back from an Editor within 3 days.
