Do you have a health story to share? We are looking for My Turn essays written by people who have overcome, or who are dealing with, a health issue. The issue can be physiological or psychological and can concern any health-related subject, from diet to depression to dermatological matters. My Turn submissions should be e-mailed to myturn@newsweek.com.
The essay should be:
a) an original piece
b) around 800 words in length
c) generally personal in tone
d) pasted into the body of your e-mail (not sent as an attachment)
e) about any health topic, but not framed as a response to a NEWSWEEK story or another My Turn essay
Submissions must not have been published elsewhere.
Please include your full name, phone number, and address with your entry. Due to the number of submissions we receive, we cannot respond unless we plan to publish your essay.
