"He’s only doing it because he loves us”, she’d say, as we watched him fill up the old Rover with tarpaulins and lengths of paracord, “he wants to make sure we’re safe.” Then we’d watch him drive away, off to his secret location, out somewhere in the woods. We couldn’t know where, in case we were compromised.

Got something to say? We’d love to share it!
For Who?
Whether you are looking for somewhere to publish your first piece or want to workshop something specific, the Monday Stories Project is a great opportunity for independent creatives of all skill levels and backgrounds to share their work with a collaborative community.
About What?
We think stories should be as diverse as storytellers are. The theme is uplifting, and it is purposefully broad. We really are open to anything; fiction, non fiction, poetry, comics, photo essays, opinion pieces, something no one has ever seen before and you're not even sure what exactly it is? Great! Sounds perfect, we’ll take that too.
But How?
Your work will be emailed directly to all of our other Registered Crew Members, as well as shared on our social media accounts, and posted to our website for a week for the public to read. Afterwards, it will be preserved in all it’s glory and published in the Monday Story Archives. It will always be your work, you will be featured as the creator, and you will also have the chance to share whatever else you'd like in a short bio section.
And Why?
The Monday Stories Project is free and always will be. We're trying to create a collaborative community platform for people to share, connect, and support each other's work. So if that sounds like the kind of thing you're into, then we'd like to invite you to join us.
