--Margaret Mead (1901-1978), American Anthropologist You always hear about the people who do wrong, hurt others, take advantage, rob and steal. But they are the minority. HeroicStories are about everyday real people who step up to the challenge and help others when they're needed. It's not just the people who save lives or stop a crime, but the stories are true, they're from all over the world and, most of all, they're interesting -- not sappy, syrupy-sweet (or religious) tales you roll your eyes over when your grandmother tells them. (They're also short! No story is over 500 words.) But don't look for the stories on this web site. They're not here: we only publish by e-mail. To read the stories, you must get a free e-mail subscription -- so we can send the stories to you! (Worried about your privacy? Well, that's smart! Here's our Privacy Notice and our position on "spam". In short: we'll never give your address to anyone else since we hate spam at least as much as you do!) Sign up for your free subscription below.
Free e-mail subscriptions! Sign up for your free e-mail subscription below and get each issue of HeroicStories as it comes out (currently each Tuesday and Friday). Then, think about what stories you might want to tell! Did someone help you when you needed it? Are they an "unsung hero" that others should know about? Please read our Submission Guidelines, and then send us your story! (Click here to see sample stories or here to read about archives.) You can also subscribe by sending an e-mail to Join@HeroicStories.com -- either method requires that you "confirm" your subscription by e-mail. (This is for your protection: see our Privacy Notice.) How do we provide this service for free? We accept brief advertisements. Please take a moment to look at the one 7-line ad included with each story -- it makes your free subscription possible. (Information on placing ads in HeroicStories is here.) Check out some of the many comments HeroicStories' readers have sent about the stories, and what the media has to say about us. There is also a discussion list for readers to discuss the stories in an open forum. HeroicStories is a project of This is True® by Randy Cassingham, one of the largest free subscription features on the Internet. It reports on bizarre-but-True stories and headlines from the world's legitimate press, and has been published weekly since 1994. You can get info on This is True here. | ||
