Share Your Inspiring Success Story!

Do you have a creativity-related success story to share? The Creativity Portal is looking for real-life success stories from artists, writers, coaches, and others who've followed their passions into the marketplace and enjoy financial rewards for their creative products and/or services (non-profit success stories are also welcome).

If we choose to share your success story with our readers, we'll feature it in our Web site's Inspiring Creativity Success Stories section, along with a short blurb about your business and a link to your Web site. Your inspiring story will be shared in our e-newsletter and highlighted on our home page for several weeks.

Story Submission Guidelines:

• Stories that are unpublished elsewhere and written with inspiring Creativity Portal readers in mind are encouraged for this feature.

• Stories must be about bringing creativity-related product(s) or service(s) into the marketplace and having significant financial rewards from them. Example story: Whimsical Curiosities.

• Stories should reflect real-life obstacles and/or challenges overcome (personal or secular) along the way.

• Stories should be 500-800 words and include a graphic/picture representation of a product (if applicable).

• Stories may include one link to the author's Web site and a small blurb (up to 50 words) at the end promoting the product or service.

• Stories will be shared with visitors on the Creativity Portal Web site and in our monthly NewZine.
