A LONG BEACH ISLAND STORYTELLING PROJECT

Thank You for Sharing.

Your story has been received, and it's already in good hands.

A note from Laura

I read every submission personally. When a story comes in about someone loved, someone lost, or someone whose bench you pass on your morning walk, it matters to me.

Give me a little time with what you've shared. I'll reach out from lauradunlaplifecoach@gmail.com with a personal reply, sometimes with a few gentle follow-up questions so I can tell the story the way it deserves to be told.

Thank you for trusting me with a name, a memory, and a bench on this island we both love.

— Laura

What Happens Next

Here's the path your story takes from your inbox to a published piece.

01

I read your story

Every word, carefully. No auto-replies here.

02

We may talk

If your story calls for it, I'll ask if we can chat, by phone, email, or in person on the island.

03

The story is told

Written with care and shared with a community that loves this island as much as you do.

Behind every plaque is a person. Behind every bench is a story someone was brave enough to share.

While You're Here

If you'd like to keep close to the project, follow along as new stories are published. And if a bench you know still needs its story told, there's always room for one more memory.
