The CFIDS Association accepts submissions of personal stories. No guarantee of publication is made or implied and no compensation is given to authors.

Due to the volume of submissions received, authors are notified only if their manuscripts are selected for publication. Submissions will not be returned to authors but are kept on file with the Association for possible future use.

By submitting an article to the CFIDS Association, the author confers permission for the CFIDS Association of America Inc. to use that material for any Association publications, including educational materials and our website. All articles are subject to editing by the editorial staff for content, clarity and space considerations.

• Article length varies based on where we place the final story, and will be at the discretion of the editorial staff. In general, personal stories should be 500 to 1,000 words.
  
• All submissions must include a brief author biography and a recent photo if possible.
  
• Personal stories should be submitted to stories@cfids.org. Articles can be sent in Microsoft Word as an attachment, or the content can be pasted into your e-mail.
