Publish Your Personal Essay: 22 Magazines and Websites

by Farrah Daniel | Sep 11, 2023

Writing is a solitary act, but the importance of sharing your work can’t be overlooked. A personal essay can endear you to an audience, bring attention to an issue or simply provide comfort to a reader who’s “been there.”

Journalists might find it difficult to steer away from research rituals to talk about themselves, but think of it this way:

“Writing nonfiction is not about telling your story. It’s about telling interesting and worthy stories about the human condition using examples from your life.” Ashley C. Ford, an essayist who emphasized the importance of creating a clear connection between your personal experience and universal topics

When writing personal essays, imagine you’re writing through yourself, instead of about yourself—worry less about writing something that seems thrilling or heart-wrenching, and more about your truth and human experience. Believe it or not, someone out there needs your story more than you know. “It’s worth it to write what’s real,” says Ford. 

Plus, there’s a bonus: You can get paid to publish your personal essay

Table of contents, where to submit your personal essays.

Once you’ve read other personal narrative examples and penned your essay, which publications should you contact? Where should you try to sell that personal essay?

“You might be tempted to focus only on magazines, but there are some great websites that run essays.” Amy Paturel, who has taught an online personal essay writing course for a decade. To help her students get published, she compiled a list of 130+ editors who accept (and pay for!) personal stories

Just found this- Thanks for the info!

Hi, thank you very much for sharing this useful information. Now, I know where I can submit my personal essays. Writing essays make me occupied with writing and reading everyday.

Thank you! I was looking for places to submit personal essays!

In this essay we will look at Jullian Assange, an Australian journalist most prominently known for the creation of Wikileaks and the controversies that surround it, despite this he still garners support as well as criticism for his role in leaking classified documentation. Born on July 3, 1971. He rose to fame with the creation of WikiLeaks which he used to expose corporate and government misconduct in addition to the creation of the site and the causalities of it (Whittaker, 2018). This has created a massive ethical debate on if he should be punished for the crimes or should have the freedom of the press this will be looked at through the ethical frameworks of deontology and utilitarianism as the moral intricacy that have arisen from his action and his fight for transparency and the challenges that are posed to national security. Before we can start to discuss how these frameworks can be argued we have to understand what it is. According to Tardi 2023, Utilitarianism is a theory of morality that advocates actions that foster happiness or pleasure and oppose actions that cause unhappiness or harm when directed to making a social, economic or political decision. With an understanding of this framework you can see how Assanges commitment to transparency can be seen as positive as he clearly discloses an aim to prevent corruption and human right exploit and how these could have easily covered up by governments or corporations by bringing these issues to the public light his actions can be seen in a good light and allows for a more informed society, in which the argument can be placed for utilitarianism as they argue that when people are more aware of what happens behind closed doors is crucial for a democratic society as it allows voters to make informed decisions and hold the relevant people accountable. His disclosure of these documents also can prevent further potential harm by him shedding light on the corrupt practices and the violation of human rights which cause backlash and the fear of being exposed can influence people to rethink their actions (Sherman, 2023). In contrast, to the positives towards his actions the main argument that is presented is the threat to national security due to the severity of leaking classified information as good as it is to expose wrongdoing concerns about national security come to the forefront as it could compromise current intelligence operations and compromise the safety of the individuals involved and could cause tension within diplomatic relations which causes an confliction of what needs to be done for the greater good. This framework requires a very careful weighing of what needs to be done for the benefit of the people against the potential risks that could arise from Assange’s actions. With advocates argue that the increase of positive social outcomes such as accountability and awareness should be prioritised, in conclusion the perspective of utilitarianism in comparison to Julian Assanges transparency does make the positives known as well as the harm it could cause but the use of this framework causes a dilemma in which there have been many debates over the arrest and it does not allow for the complexities within the balance between security and the need for the greater good. Another framework that contrasts utilitarianism is deontology as it is simply whether an action is inherently right or wrong, despite their consequences. It has a clear emphasis on the ethical principles and duties as factors that are used to determine the motivation of his actions, using this to look at his actions show his commitment to showing the people what they need to see as well as a selfless moral duty to uphold justice and expose what goes on behind the scenes whilst following higher ethical standards. Some advocates of Julian Assange believe that his actions are held between a moral duty to reveal the truth and that he is seen as a martyr who is being imprisoned for exposing corruption and his actions stem from a self-duty to create a system where corporations and governments are held accountable. as was the case with utilitarianism this perspective encounters some issues when the argument of national security is in question and as some critics believe that Assange’s actions in particular the release of classified information violate the duty of avoiding harm and in this view the duty of protecting national security and preventing any harm that can come of it is more severe and challenges the view of his actions being for the greater good.

7 publications that pay well for personal narrative essays

Despite The New Yorker declaring that the personal essay boom was over in 2017, I’ve seen the opposite. Whenever I look on Twitter, I see callouts from editors for candid, revealing and thought-provoking first person pieces. For freelance writers, the advantage of writing a personal narrative essay is that you are drawing on your own experience, so there is very little need for external research or case studies. Many writers also say that writing down their own experience and sharing it with others feels validating, affirming and therapeutic.

Before I became a full time freelancer , I wrote quite a few personal narrative essays.

Why? Because personal narrative essays are one of the fastest and easiest ways to get published.

When I was writing my first-person pieces, I found numerous articles about how to sell personal essays in the age of over-sharing   and how to write compelling first person pieces for major publications.

I quickly learnt that if you are willing to open up and share your own experience, you can be compensated well for it.

And if you’re interested to learn more about how to write a personal essay (and how to get paid for it!) I’ve created the ultimate guide to step you through the process.

It takes you through:

• Choosing the perfect topic for a personal essay
• How to start a personal essay (including what to do and not to do and examples of banging beginnings)
• Common mistakes people make when writing first-person narratives
• How to write a compelling personal essay that keeps people reading right to the end
• Examples of great personal narrative essays
• How to pitching your story to an editor
• And lots more!

The guide also includes 15+ paying markets for personal narrative essays, but I know that it can be tricky to find publications that accept freelance submissions.

The good news is that there are plenty of online and print publications looking for personal essays.

So if you have a personal story you want to share, where can you pitch it?

If you’re a writer who has had a book published, it’s definitely worth pitching to Allure (a magazine predominantly for women about beauty) as they pay up to $3,000 for personal essays up to 2000 words.

For those mere mortals among us who haven’t written a book, the rate for personal essays seems to be more like $250 – $500.

Glamour is another women’s magazine that heavily focuses on beauty, fashion and entertainment stories. Personal essays published by Glamour are reported to fetch around $2/word.

3. The Guardian

You have to love an editor who puts what she wants from writers out there and Jessica Reed from The Guardian certainly delivers. For beautifully written personal essays, The Guardian reportedly pays 60c/word.

4. Marie Claire

If you’ve got something compelling, insightful, intimate, funny, relatable or awkward to say about your love or sex life, then a personal essay directed to Marie Claire might be just the ticket. Writers report that Marie Claire pays $2/word.

Are you spotting a theme here? Women’s magazines love personal essays. If you want to write first hand experience about fitness, food, health or culture, it’s worth pitching to SELF magazine, who pay up to $700 for 2000 words.

A dynamic site covering world affairs, pop culture, science, business, politics and more, Vox pay around $500 for personal narrative essays. What’s even better is their clear pitching guidelines for their First Person section .

7. News.com.au

If you feel like a sharing a real life story like this one , you can pitch to the lifestyle vertical on the Australian website news.com.au. Writers are reportedly paid around $500 for a post.

Great examples of personal essays

You could spend years reading all the personal narrative essays that get published, but here are my picks for some of the best:

My washing line is heavy with the weight of our ash-ridden tent hung out to air. I wonder if the smell of smoke will ever be gone. I have no recollection of the tent being packed away – I was focused on the children, keeping them calm. All I know is that we’d never packed up a campsite so damn quickly. But then, we’d never fled a bushfire.  You can read the rest of the article here.

  “I love you so much.” Those whispered words make everything better – and when my soul mate and husband died, five years ago, I truly believed I would never hear them again.  You can read the rest of the article here.

My epiphany came, like many of them do, while I was taking a dump. Specifically, it came while I was trying to take a dump in the woods after three years of struggling with gastrointestinal issues. It went something like this: you don’t need to be gluten-free anymore. You just need to relax.  You can read the rest of the article here.

The rules for pitching a personal essay are much the same as when you query an editor for any other kind of writing assignment.

You just need a strong hook and engaging writing style.

The writers I know who create personal narrative essays love it.

They feel free and are absolutely thrilled when readers respond to their articles with “me too!”

After all, isn’t the point of writing to reach and connect with others? Personal essays tend to do that in a very special way.

Do you write personal narrative essays? Have you found other well-paying markets?

15 Magazines Looking for Personal Essay Submissions (ft. Brittany Ackerman)

Enjoy these open magazines with an essay on crafting narratives and finding catharsis through writing (sub club list #17).

Our guest writer this week is Brittany Ackerman, author of the essay collection, The Perpetual Motion Machine and the novel, The Brittanys . Below, find her essay on her early attempts at writing personal essays and the interaction between personal experiences, crafting narratives, and finding catharsis through writing.

“A personal essay often includes some or a lot of personal confessions.  That makes the reader feel less lonely in their confusion and darkness.” – Philip Lopate

One of the first workshops I took in graduate school was creative nonfiction.  On the syllabus, we were given a number of books to purchase, including To Show and To Tell by Philip Lopate.  The craft book, quoted to be a “nuts-and-bolts guide to writing literary nonfiction,” came in addition to the other memoirs and collections of essays we’d be reading for the semester.  I’d never read a craft book before.  I’d never even heard of Philip Lopate.

The personal essay I wrote for my grad school application was, in retrospect, horrible.  It was a memory of my first time meeting Cinderella at Disney World with unbearably long descriptions of the elaborate costume I wore: my hair tightly pulled into a bun and the painful bobby pins keeping it in place, my powder blue dress that matched Cinderella’s, the plastic “glass” heels, the silver tiara to top it all off.  

I wrote about standing in line, about how all the little girls looked the same as me, all of us ready to meet Cinderella.  I recounted that once I finally ascended the castle steps to meet Cinderella, I lost the nerve to tell her my name.  Luckily, the pen I’d handed her to sign my autograph book had my name on it, and when she spoke to me, I felt special.  I felt real.  The essay is about believing, the effect of Disney’s magic.  

But at six years old, I felt a surge of consciousness I’d never felt before.  I became aware of my own existence in the world right at that very moment, standing there in the hot Orlando sun dressed as Cinderella.  Up until that moment, I thought I was a Disney Princess just because I was dressed like one, just because I’d seen all the movies and memorized all the songs.  But princesses aren’t real, or at least not in the Disney sense.  

I was so green as a writer then and didn’t have the nerve to admit this on the page.  I thought that a personal essay was supposed to be purely uplifting and happy (lol) and that I needed to exude some sentiment of joy in order for the essay to be successful.  If I were to re-write this essay now, it would be completely different.  It would be the honest story of how scared I was leaving the park that day, of how I realized we couldn’t all be princesses because we weren’t all special.  We were all just girls sweating and uncomfortable in our clothes.  Cinderella was a college kid getting paid hourly to pose with us.  She probably smoked weed and had an awful boyfriend.  And there we were, looking up as if she was truly magical.

Somehow, I got into graduate school with that essay.  I think the program director must have seen potential in my work, the potential for me to dig deeper into my memories in order to excavate the truth.  

In that first graduate class, we read Sarah Manguso’s The Two Kinds of Decay and Leslie Jamison’s The Empathy Exams, and Nick Flynn’s Another Bullshit Night in Suck City , among others.  We read books that resonated with me, as I had joined the program so I could embark on writing essays about my childhood.  And this time, not the Disney version.

I was fresh out of a terrible relationship when I entered grad school, but by the end of the first week of orientation, I already had my eye on someone.  He was in my creative nonfiction workshop, where I’d join him outside during breaks while he smoked, and I listened to him talk about whatever had just transpired in class.  I was more interested in what he had to say than my own thoughts and opinions at the time.  I was ready to write about the inner workings of my psyche, but not yet able to practice this in real life.  He was the type of person who enjoyed an audience.  As time went on and the hours we accumulated together in the workshop grew, I was certain he was going to ask me out.  Instead, he asked to borrow a book.

“You think I could borrow the Lopate?” He asked, and I knew I would give him the book, that I’d not only lend it to him but that I’d let him keep it indefinitely.  Something cosmic made me understand that I’d already given myself over to him, so what more was a stupid book?  It turned out that me bringing the book over to his apartment was his way of getting us alone.  We dated for the rest of our time together in the program.  Once we graduated, it only took six months for us to break up. 

Even though the Philip Lopate book was required, we never got to it for some reason.  It didn’t matter that I hadn’t read it.  It didn’t matter that my grad school boyfriend had.  I still, to this day, haven’t read the book, or any of Philip Lopate’s many books.  I hadn’t thought about that book for years until I was Googling quotes about personal essays for this post, and Lopate came up.  But again, something cosmic, something connecting me to the name of the book, to the memory, to the feeling, to the urge to write it all down and figure it out.

I remember packing all my things and leaving the apartment, his apartment that I’d moved into and never truly felt like ours .  I remember separating my books from his shelves.  I remember finding To Show and To Tell and holding it, deciding to leave it on his desk as a final “Fuck You.”

This sounds like a triumphant moment, but at the time, I was so depressed and lost.  I had no idea what my next move would be.  The Lopate became a symbol for how willing I was to give myself away.  It’s only now, so many years later, happily married and watching my five-month-old continue to grow, that I can see the break up as something to re-imagine, something that could make its way into my writing.  

Back to that first semester– I accomplished what I’d set out to do, and more.  I wrote an essay about being Jewish, I wrote an essay about the Disney ride Space Mountain, I wrote about my brother, about myself.  I wrote a lot of pieces about myself.  I got feedback from my peers and started compiling the essays as I edited each one.  I left grad school with a book that was ready to be submitted, sent off to contests and agents and publishers.  The book was published three years later.

Personal essay holds a special place in my heart.  For me, it’s a place to re-write my life after it’s been lived.  It’s a place to imagine what lies ahead in the future.  It holds space in the present to examine myself, like therapy, like zooming into a photograph and staring at the parts that give me trouble.  

In my confusion and in my darkness, I open up a blank page.
