Coffee + Crumbs is a collection of stories about motherhood, love,
truth, and the good kind of heartache.
We believe the very essence of motherhood can be found in the sweet
spot between coffee and crumbs—in that magical place between calm
and chaos, beauty and mess, between snuggling newborns on our chests
and chasing rambunctious toddlers around the parks.
At the very core of this space, we want all moms to feel less alone.
It is our mission to encourage mothers around the world through the
power of shared experiences and beautiful storytelling.
***We are looking for well-written, original first-person essays
(600-1,000 words) about anything and everything related to motherhood.
We feature stories, not advice---the more honest and vulnerable, the
better. Please familiarize yourself with our current content before
submitting. We love to read stories that make us cry, and we love to
read stories that make us laugh. Bonus points if you can accomplish
both in the same essay. We gravitate towards stories that end on an
uplifting or encouraging note.
We receive about 50 submissions a month and can only publish 2-4, so
if your essay is not accepted, please do not be discouraged, and
please do not hesitate to submit again.
We do not accept previously published work, including posts from
personal blogs. We strive to make a decision on all submissions within
two weeks of receiving them. Upon approved submission, grammatical
and minor content edits will be made directly by our editorial staff.
Any significant changes or suggestions will be sent to you for your
thoughts and/or approval prior to publishing. At this time, we do not
compensate for guest posts, but hope to be able to do so in the
future.
If you have any questions about your submission or the submission
process, please feel free to shoot us an e-mail at
submissions@coffeeandcrumbs.net.
