Our submissions are OPEN
The Get Real is on a mission to reconnect you with what is meaningful.
We want to create a space for like-minded women to share our creativity, personal stories, and what really matters in our lives -- without the filter.
We’re looking for creative, honest, and unfiltered stories. Whether it’s personal, observational, poetic, or playful, we want to hear about the real stuff — the moments, shifts, or reflections that have shaped who you are or how you see the world.
You don’t need to be a professional writer. You just need something real to say.
We welcome submissions of anything that matters to you. This could be personal stories of the hard lessons you learned about adult friendships, hot takes of whether university was worth it, ask for advice on a challenge you are facing with your colleagues, interviews with your mum, opinion pieces on how society today views motherhood, poems inspired by the theme, how-tos on best homemade lip scrub you discovered when you were 16...
Whatever it is, we want to hear from you. We just have one rule: be your authentic self.
🟣 Personal stories (what you learned about yourself through pregnancy)
🟣 Hot takes ('girlbossing' isn't all it's cracked out to be)
🟣 Opinion pieces (growing up under the eye of social media)
🟣 Ask for advice (he’s a ten but has a velcro wallet)
🟣 Interviews (with yourself as a child)
🟣 Something you’ve created (your artwork inspired by the theme)
🟣 Recipes and how tos (the homemade soup that always brings you comfort)
