We are receiving many emails from people who plan to start or already run their own journals projects, and want to share your experiences and tips.

We've compiled the first DIY Tips on the 1000 Journals Extension. Check it out!

It would be great if you told us about your project. Even if you are at the very beginning, or have "abandoned" your journals project, we'd like to know your story. Please adjust the questions below accordingly.

Thank you so very much for your input.

Copy and paste the below questions into the body of an email, fill in as much as you can, and send it to andrea at 1000journalsfilm.com (format by removing the spaces and replacing the at with @).
