Write for URevolution: Share Your Story & Spark Change

At URevolution, we believe stories have the power to break barriers, shift perspectives, and start revolutions. That’s why we’re here—to amplify the voices of people whose experiences are often overlooked.

Maybe you’re navigating life with chronic illness or disability, redefining what it means to be neurodivergent, or challenging the way society treats race, gender, and identity. Maybe you’ve got a story that’s never quite fit the mainstream narrative. If so, we want to hear from you.

What We Publish

We’re not looking for the same old stories. We want fresh, unfiltered, and deeply personal perspectives—the kind of writing that makes people think, laugh, cry, or all three at once.

Here’s what we love:
✔ First-person narratives that pull readers into your world, whether that’s a hilarious dating misadventure or the unexpected realities of life with a disability.
✔ Bold opinions and sharp social commentary that challenge the way the world sees disability, neurodiversity, and inclusion.
✔ Unapologetic storytelling about navigating relationships, careers, healthcare, and everyday awkwardness when you exist outside the mainstream.
✔ Essays with a mix of humor and insight—we love a bit of wit and sarcasm when tackling tough topics.

And here’s what we’re not looking for:
🚫 Medical or clinical advice—there are plenty of sites for that, but this isn’t one of them.
🚫 Dry, academic essays—we’re about real-life, personal perspectives, not jargon-filled reports.
🚫 Inspiration porn—your story doesn’t need to be about “overcoming” anything to be valuable.

If you’ve ever had to explain your disability to a Tinder date, deal with an awkwardly well-meaning coworker, or push back against the idea that diversity stops at race and gender, you’re in the right place.

Who We Are

URevolution was born out of real-life awkwardness.

When co-founder Brendan McDonald was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, he suddenly found himself in a series of uncomfortable social situations. People didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to respond. The silence, the awkwardness, the well-meaning but bizarre comments—it all became a daily reality. Instead of just dealing with it, he and Corinne Gray created URevolution as a place where people could finally talk about these things.

Since then, we’ve expanded our mission beyond disability and chronic illness to include the full spectrum of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Because let’s be honest—disability has been left out of diversity conversations for way too long.

Join the Revolution
