Submission does not guarantee publication. All stories are reviewed by VOV and subject to our discretion. We may ask for edits as necessary. Once submitted the story may be used by VOV on our website, publications, or other uses as deemed appropriate by VOV for ensuring our voices are heard. Thank you for your story submission and joining the VOV community.

A Facebook URL looks like this https://www.facebook.com/YourName. Click your profile photo to see your Facebook page and then copy the URL. We will use your public profile picture (From Facebook, LinkedIn, or Blog) as part of your story if you indicated that is allowed in the privacy option.
