Share your stories of home with Smoky Mountain Living magazine

This winter Smoky Mountain Living is celebrating the home. Help share the joys of home by telling about your hometown in 300 words or less.

Some questions to consider as you think about writing are: What was it like growing up in your hometown? What are your favorite memories? What does it feel like to be home? What gave/gives the town a sense of place? Why did you leave or did you? Would you live in your hometown again or do you live there now? What's one thing you would tell any visitor to your hometown to make sure to do?

Submissions must include a picture of the writer (current or, even better, in the hometown) as well as full name, current address, hometown name, email and phone number.

Submissions should be by those who grew up in the Southern Appalachian region or are now living in the Southern Appalachian region.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
