Submit Your Story

Tomorrow Club warmly welcomes  submissions from young people who want to share their stories with an international audience. If you’re under 35, we encourage you to pitch your story to us.

While we prioritise submissions from the focus region, currently Asia, we are open to anyone, anywhere.

We’re looking for personal stories, in fiction or non-fiction with a youth specific perspective that connects with our vision. 

The format can be long articles, commentary, essays, poems, short stories, lyrics and other creative forms of expression based on the written word (ideally between 600 to 2,000 words). Video story formats are also welcome. If speaking out comes with risks, the option to write under a pseudonym is possible.

To submit, send us your pitch/idea (no more than 400 words), along with a biography and any links to previously published work, if you have them. If not, don't worry, that's partly why we are here. If your idea suits our mission, we’ll work with you.

Email your pitches to: [email protected]. Our editors review all submissions and will respond if we plan to move forward with your pitch.
