Your Story Belongs Here.

You don’t need to be a professional writer to have a voice here. We are looking for real, raw, and relatable experiences from the endometriosis community.

How It Works & The Fine Print

The Process: We accept both rough pitches (just an idea) and full drafts. If your piece is accepted, it will go through our editorial process. We will polish it up and tighten the grammar—which means you have to be comfortable with collaborative editing.

Compensation: Right now, DO YOU ENDO is a labor of love, funded entirely out of pocket by our founder through HBIC Media, LLC. Because we have zero investors and no paywalls, we unfortunately cannot pay writers at this time. It is our ultimate goal to find ways to change this, but for now, we are a volunteer-led, community-driven space.

Pitch a Column

We have four columns that run outside of our usual post categories that are a little niche and for very specific stories.

Ready to Rant

Exactly what it sounds like: a place to rant. Your thoughts don’t need to be perfectly comprehensive—this is the space for raw, stream-of-consciousness venting about the realities of endo.

#ButYouDontLookSick

Navigating the invisible reality of chronic illness. Pitch us pieces about makeup, beauty, and the complex reality of looking “healthy” on the outside while your insides are suffering.

Respectfully, No.

The boundary-setting column. We want your essays on rejecting toxic positivity, calling out of work, declining baby shower invites, and protecting your peace.

The Burn Book

Sarcastic, highly-relatable roundups and call-outs. This is where we blast bad doctors, ignorant friends, and terrible unsolicited advice—anonymously and safely, without getting sued.

Pitch a Category

Not feeling a specific column? No problem. We accept personal essays, reporting, and advice across all facets of living with endometriosis.

  • Health & Wellness: Chronic Fatigue, Hormones, Menstrual Health, Infertility, Holistic Healing, Diet + Nutrition, and Recipes.
  • Life & Relationships: Career + Money, Sex + Relationships, Family, Friends, Self-Care, and Mind + Body.

Special Submissions

  • Crush of the Week (#COTW): Want to shout out a friend, loved one, or support person who held your hand through the worst of it? Nominate them and write a piece about why they are your crush of the week.
  • EndoShop: Have a heating pad, supplement, or pair of sweatpants that changed your life? Pitch us a product review or recommendation.
  • Expert Advice: Note: This category is strictly for medical professionals and credentialed experts to share clinical advice.
