For a special Modern Love project, The New York Times is collecting readers' most unforgettable breakup lines — whether kind, bizarre, profound, haunting, or funny. Last October's call for submissions was the most engaging story of the year, so the series is asking again. Readers are invited to share lines they've either delivered or received that left a lasting impression.
Submissions should include both the spoken lines and their context. The most compelling entries will be published in a forthcoming collection. Contributors will be contacted first for verification before any response is shared.
The deadline for submissions is Thursday, Oct. 15, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific. Modern Love can be reached at [email protected]. To explore previous essays, Tiny Love Stories, and podcast episodes, visit the archive.
Additional Modern Love content includes a TV series, a newsletter, and a podcast available on iTunes or Spotify. Two books are also available: "Modern Love: True Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption" and "Tiny Love Stories: True Tales of Love in 100 Words or Less." Miya Lee is the editor of Modern Love projects.
