Contribute to the Gratitude Series
** Currently accepting submissions. **
Thank you for your interest in writing for Begin Within: A Gratitude Series.
Gratitude is a theme we talk about often around here because it ties so closely into other missional living rhythms. Practicing gratitude reminds to keep our hearts soft and expectant and our eyes open. Therefore, the more we embrace gratitude, the easier it becomes to truly see our neighbors and where we can join what God is already doing in our neighborhoods. My vision for this gratitude series is to help others embrace a year-round lifestyle of gratitude that will impact not only their own life, but the lives of their neighbors as well.
Do you have a story to share about how embracing gratitude has affected the way you see and respond to those around you? I would love to hear from you!
The below submission guidelines will help as you craft your piece for consideration:
- Story is powerful. Offer words as an invitation as you come alongside the reader and share your takeaways through the lens of your personal experience with gratitude.
- 500-700 word count preferred.
- Please include a proposed title and subheadings, a short bio written in third person, a headshot, and any links to your work or socials you would like me to share.
- Please send your story in a Word or Google document (not in the body of the email). Your bio can be on the same document as your gratitude piece.
- Please email your submission to twyla@twylafranz.com. If you have a scheduled date for your story, please send your submission no later than two weeks before the go-live date.
All submissions will be carefully and prayerfully considered. I’ll also recommend light edits if needed.
I am excited to hear your gratitude story!
