No, this isn’t for a medium publication.
Yes, I do want to hear all about your first sober experiences.
Hi! My name is Patty McMahon. I write a digital magazine called “How to Plan Your Sober [Blank].” This is a sober survival guide for upcoming events such as birthdays, vacations, holidays, and more.
I am seeking your expertise in this area and want to give you an opportunity to share your stories. I’ve tagged you because I have read your work and think you’d love this opportunity. Michele Maize (The Sober Vegan Yogi) Ken Makimsy Middleton Benya Clark Diana Leotta Paul Goodman Colleen Kachmann Caryn Leach-Smith Clark Webb Mark Godfrey and feel free to share with someone you may know who might have a story to tell.
I am looking for submissions about the following topics.
- Reliving your first sober Halloween
- Reliving your first sober Thanksgiving
- Reliving your first sober Christmas
- Comparing your first sober Halloween to Halloweens of the past
- Comparing your first sober Thanksgiving to ones of the past

- Top three tips you’ve learned to stay sober at any event

You can share your contact links, plug a product, or your medium subscription link. I want this to work out for both of us. I may ask some of you to join me in interviews to speak to my Private Facebook Group, “How to Plan Your Sober [Blank],” where we support each other in planning how to survive our next social event. This will be a great opportunity for you to plug your world as well.
Yes, you can even post your article on Medium.com :) (make sure you check that partner program box)!
If you want to play, please submit your articles to pmacinsights@gmail.com with the subject line HOLIDAY STORY.
Submissions should be about 750 words.
If you are writing about Halloween, please submit by 9/21, Thanksgiving by 10/11, and Christmas by 11/01.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
