MEDIUM Storytellers · Canada

You've lived a story.
Let's tell it properly.

We're inviting Canadian creators who've been knocked down and got back up to tell their story with MEDIUM. Share it with your audience and ours — and wear a piece made to mark it.

What We're Looking For

Which chapter are you in?

Every life has turning points. Tell us about yours. It doesn't need to be dramatic. It needs to be true.

Chapter 01

Comeback

You were knocked down — health, business, loss, life — and you got back up.

Chapter 02

Origin

The moment it started. The first step, the first risk, the first yes.

Chapter 03

Arrival

You made it somewhere you weren't sure you'd reach.

Chapter 04

Pivot

You changed direction when staying the course was easier.

Chapter 05

Revival

Something you'd lost — passion, purpose, yourself — came back.

Chapter 06

Legacy

What you're building for the people who come after you.

How It Works

Four steps. No agency, no runaround.

01

Submit

Tell us your story in a few lines and how you'd like to share it.

02

Talk

If it's a fit, we'll reach out within two weeks — in person, by phone or on Zoom.

03

Choose

Pick your piece. We'll engrave it where we can.

04

Share

You post in your voice. We feature your story on our site and channels.

Straight Talk

The fine print, in plain words.

Is there a fee?

We're a small, independent Canadian brand. Our offer is the piece, the feature and — for Partners — a commission on sales. If your work needs a fee, tell us in your proposal. We'll be honest about what we can do.

Do I have to post good things?

Post what's true. We're asking you to tell your story, not to read a script.

Disclosure

Gifted content must be clearly disclosed (e.g. #gifted or the platform's paid partnership label), in line with Canadian advertising guidelines.

Using your story

With your written OK, MEDIUM may share your story, photos and post on our website, in store and on our social channels. Paid ads using your content are agreed separately.

Submit Your Story

Start with the story. We'll take it from there.

Takes about five minutes. A proposal is welcome but not required.

Story Received

Thank you for trusting us with it.

Your story is in good hands. We read every submission personally, and if it's a fit, you'll hear from us within two weeks.

In the meantime, meet the people who've already shared theirs.
