Enter Bezzy.

So often, living with a chronic condition can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like.

Bezzy is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community” for people with chronic conditions where:

• everyone feels seen, valued, and understood

• everyone’s story matters

• shared vulnerability is the name of the game

We're seeking contributors who live with any of the 10 chronic conditions Bezzy covers:

• breast cancer
• type 2 diabetes
• multiple sclerosis
• rheumatoid arthritis
• psoriatic arthritis
• psoriasis
• depression
• migraine
• IBD (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease)
• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

With Bezzy, we want to foster connection more than anything and while some of our content is designed to keep members informed and educated, the best of it is heartfelt, inspiring, insightful, first-person stories. Selected advocates will work with a condition editor who will collaborate on and approve pitches, review and revise drafts, and manage the publication process. All pieces submitted must have facts and statistics supported with credible sources and pass a medical review process.

If you are interested in contributing personal experience stories for Bezzy, please submit the below materials. You can include 3 samples of relevant writing or a link to an online portfolio.

Pursuant to various state Fair Pay Acts, below is a summary of compensation for this position.

• Compensation: starting at $150 USD/article
