For writers

Some stories stay with us—not because they are the loudest, but because they tell the truth in a way only that writer can. Shoreline Stories is drawn to manuscripts with warmth, emotional honesty, and a sense of possibility.

We welcome children’s books, women’s fiction, romantic suspense, and stories that leave readers feeling seen, encouraged, or a little less alone. If your story carries courage, connection, resilience, or the feeling of finding your way home, we’d love for you to explore our submission guidelines.
