Your votes found the best true short stories

Great news! Now the best true short stories can be uploaded much easier so you and your child can get them to me even faster. But, there is a big difference.

If your child's story is a good effort and hopefully accompanied by a picture that adds meaning to the story or sets a mood, I will publish the story on its own web page!

Maybe your child has his or her own favourite story already. Let me know. This section is for true stories, so check out what you send because we'll have readers eager to say 'that can't be for real'!

My library lists all of the short story categories

Give your best true short story its own web page!

Your own, original, best true short stories can be uploaded to be seen by your friends.

If your original piece meets our simple quality standards, it will get its own web page so your friends and family can comment and vote on it.

Make it good, and it must be original. It will be here for all to see! And when commenting on other stories, if you don't like a certain one, please be constructive, and leave the rude language behind.

What is the title of your true short story?

Paste your best true story here. [ ? ]

Close Help

Entering your story is easy to do. Just paste it or type!...

Your story will appear on a Web page exactly the way you enter it here. You can wrap a word in square brackets to make it appear bold. For example [my story] would show as my story on the Web page containing your story.

NOTE: The maximum length is 10,000 characters. See the counter below this box for the number of characters still available. If the story is too long, you will have to add 'Part 1' or 'Part 2' at the end of the title.

TIP: Since most people scan Web pages, include your best thoughts in your first paragraph. This way your readers will see good summaries and find your stories faster.

Upload an optional picture that helps your story's theme. [ ? ]

Do you have a picture to add? Great! Click the button and find it on your computer. Then select it. The picture should complement the story or set the mood. If the picture doesn't add to the story, then unfortunately, I won't be able to publish either.
