  • Substance use, recovery, and coping

  • Discrimination, identity, and social injustice

  • Physical or chronic illness

  • Family, relationships, and belonging

  • Grief, loss, and change

  • Loneliness, connection, and community

  • Self-discovery and personal growth

  • Moments that changed the way you see the world

Originality Statement

Voices Unheard is a platform where individuals can share their stories and lived experiences. That being said, we do not accept any submissions that use generative AI, nor do we accept submissions that weren't written entirely by you. We do accept submissions that have been published elsewhere, but please provide the publisher's information so we can credit them as well. Lastly, any submissions that do not meet these guidelines will be subject to removal from the Voices Unheard platform.

Due to a lack of funding, we are no longer able to print physical issues. However, we will continue to post every issue on the website and create digital copies of what the physical issues would look like. If your work is accepted to a particular issue, you will receive a free PDF copy of the digital issue through your preferred contact method.

 

Digital copies are also available for purchase in the shop for $5 USD. Please consider donating or purchasing a copy to help us print more physical issues in the future.

​

Thank you for choosing Voices Unheard, and we look forward to reviewing your submissions!
