Story submission guidelines

Share your ASK story

Share a story:

Got a story you’d like to submit for possible inclusion in The Big Ask Blog or a future edition of The Big Ask book?

Write or paste your story directly into the message portion of your email and send to info@ (bigaskbook dot com), or pop it into the Contact form. Do not send attachments (for our cyber security, they won’t be opened).

Need help recalling a story? See Story Prompter.
Sorry – we don’t pay for submissions!

 

Your story should answer the following:

  • What did you ask, and what, if anything, was at stake?
  • What were your feelings or expectations about asking?
  • How did you ask? What did you say?
  • How did they respond?
  • How did the result impact you and/or others?

    Stories must:

    • be true
    • be from your own experience, not secondhand
    • be exclusive (not previously featured in a book, blog, or social media post)
    • focus on asking a person, business, or organization (stories about asking in prayer or asking the Universe, while inspiring, are not within the scope of the work)
