Writer's Guidelines

We publish 50 to 60 stories each year in our "This Is Your Page" column. This could be your chance to tell your story. If your story is chosen, we will send you an Easy English NEWS gift pack and three copies of the newspaper from the month where your story is printed.

We publish true first-person stories that:

• Are about an event or experience that happened to the writer,
• Are the original work of a reader of Easy English NEWS,
• Are 100-400 words in length,
• And are not the same as stories we have published before.

We do not publish stories that:

•  Are student opinions, essays, or poetry,
•  Are made up,
• Or are about something that happened in a native country that doesn’t relate to an experience here in the United States.

Submit your story here on our website or email it to us at info@easyenglishnews.com. Please make sure you include your name, your current city and state where you live, your home country, your current mailing address, and an email address.

We will send you an email to let you know if your story has been chosen. It can take us a few weeks to a few months to let you know if your story has been chosen. Currently, we have over 100 stories waiting to be printed. It may take up to a year for your story to be printed in the newspaper.

If your story is chosen, we will cut, rearrange, edit, and correct grammar to make the story understandable to our readers and to fit the space. In some cases, we may change vocabulary to words that won’t need word help. We may also change the title.

We look forward to reading your stories!
