Share your story to win six bottles of wine


About Maxine

Ys editor-in-chief ... and campaigner of your causes.

If you have a problem that our Ys community should know about, or some heartwarming news that needs to be shared, I'm listening!

You can email me here.


The beauty in having lived a little means we all have a story to tell. Since we value your wisdom, there's a monthly prize up for grabs if you share yours with us.

You don't get to hit middle-age and beyond without notching up a cracking life yarn or two.

Share your stories and opinions - you could win six bottles of wine.

And the beauty of your YsPeople community is that we're all about providing a safe place to share your passions, ideas, adventures, misdeeds and adventures.

So much so, that we're willing to reward you for them  - not just with the (ahem!) fame and glory that comes with being published, but with six bottles of delicious Semillon Sauvignon Blanc.

A six-pack of smooth summer sipping is up for grabs if you are chosen as our Contributor Of The Month.

Winners are chosen at the editor's discretion, with contributions that tackle current Baby Boomer issues, passions or heartfelt life stories sure to catch her eye.

And of course, the more you submit, the better your chances of winning.

So if you have some personal wisdom to share with your Ys tribe, whether it's in the form of a travel yarn, a poem, restaurant review, or even a nostalgic look back at when Australia was a better place, why not sign in and get cracking?

It's as simple as clicking on  "Share my story" in your unique member dashboard.

You never know, you may just win a heart or two .... and those six bottles of wine.
