The Doe’s Editorial Guidelines

All communities and opinions are welcome. The Doe does not filter voices or narratives. This is a place for you to share experiences, blow whistles and spark conversation.

Maintaining your voice is paramount when publishing your story. The Doe’s editorial team primarily edits for length and clarity.

Contributors are encouraged to read previous stories to get a better idea of how to construct their narratives.
