Frequently Asked Questions

Draft Your Story & the Stories magazine

What is Draft Your Story?+

It's a free tool that turns your business or career journey into a published story. Fill in a short form about your background, the challenge you faced, your turning point, and the impact you've made — our editorial team shapes it into a readable story and, once approved, publishes it on Draftover.

Is it really free?+

Yes. There's no charge to submit your story, and no card required. It's part of how we build the Stories magazine — real founders and business owners sharing what actually happened, not paid placements.

Who can submit a story?+

Any founder, business owner, or professional with a real journey worth telling — from an early-stage startup to a long-running local business to a career pivot. If you're not sure yours fits, submit it anyway and let our editorial team take a look.

What happens after I submit?+

Your submission goes to our editorial team for review. We may lightly edit for clarity and length before it's published — we don't publish anything without a human review first, so there's sometimes a short wait.

Can I edit or remove my story after it's published?+

Yes. Log in at /login using the same email you submitted with, and you'll see every story tied to that email under "My Stories," with options to edit or delete it. Editing a published story sends it back for re-review before the changes go live.

What kinds of stories does Draftover publish?+

Business Stories (founder and company journeys), City Guides (where to find the best career and business services in a given city), and Tips (practical, guide-style advice). You can browse all of them under Stories in the menu above.

Our other services

Do you offer resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn writing services?+
