Where commerce, community, and positive storytelling work hand in hand
The Global QI clickable shopping catalogue will resume shortly, featuring the addition of uplifting good news stories from around the world.
We're looking for stories that inspire, stories that make people laugh, stories that make readers say, "Aww, isn't that sweet?" Most importantly, we're seeking stories that remind us that the world is positively worth preserving.
Global QI invites expressions of interest from writers, journalists, bloggers, community groups, businesses, charities, educators, and everyday storytellers who would like to share positive news and human-centred stories with a global audience.
Submissions may include:
Inspiring personal achievements
Community success stories
Acts of kindness and generosity
Environmental and conservation wins
Scientific and educational breakthroughs
Feel-good animal stories
Positive business and social enterprise initiatives
Humorous and heart warming moments
Contributors may choose to:
Publish a story for readers to enjoy freely
Include a link to purchase a book, article, report, or other related publication
Promote a charitable, educational, or community initiative associated with the story
Showcase products or services that align with the positive message of the story
Global QI aims to create an alternative publishing space where optimism, creativity, innovation, and human goodwill can be shared, celebrated, and supported.
If you have a good news story that deserves to be heard, we welcome your expression of interest.
Together, we can create a catalogue where commerce, community, and positive storytelling work hand in hand—connecting people with products, services, supplies, and opportunities, while celebrating the stories, ideas, and achievements that make our world worth preserving.
Global QI is a weekly digital publication where good stories and good business grow together.
Every edition combines engaging, family-friendly storytelling with carefully selected advertisements, creating a publication people genuinely look forward to opening each week.
Unlike traditional advertising, Global QI is built on conversation rather than algorithms. Stories give people a reason to share the publication with others. Businesses benefit because their advertisements travel alongside content people enjoy reading.
The concept is simple.
Great stories start conversations.
Conversations grow communities.
Communities create opportunities for everyone.
We are seeking original stories which leave readers wanting more.
Examples include:
Family-friendly humour.
Serialised fiction published chapter by chapter.
Tall stories with a meaningful truth.
Clever tales which make readers laugh at life's absurdities.
Stories celebrating kindness and humanity.
Stories behind creative inventions and ideas.
Every story should leave readers looking forward to next week's edition.
Authors are encouraged to invite readers to join the Global QI email community for future publications.
Every edition is designed to become a conversation starter.
Readers discover your story.
They continue scrolling through the edition.
Along the way they discover businesses, products and services which are available exclusively through Global QI.
Your contribution becomes part of a collaborative ecosystem where every contributor helps every other contributor grow.
Each published story may also include a link to your books, courses or other publications, creating an ongoing lead funnel for your work.
Global QI grows through genuine human conversation.
Every contributor is expected to introduce at least one new reader to Global QI during the week their work is published.
The new reader joins the Global QI community free of charge.
When every contributor introduces just one new person, every contributor benefits from a continually expanding audience built on trust, recommendation and shared enthusiasm rather than paid algorithms.
The more contributors participate, the more readers discover everyone's work.
Stories published in Global QI are first publication works.
To preserve the excitement of discovering new stories, published material must remain exclusive to Global QI for the agreed exclusivity period before being published elsewhere.
Likewise, advertisements and promotional graphics published in Global QI should remain unique to the publication until the agreed exclusivity period has ended.
Global QI exists to create a publishing ecosystem where authors, creators and businesses of every size can grow together.
Whether you are publishing your first story, selling handcrafted jewellery, promoting industrial products, coaching parents, offering affordable fashion or launching a new business, every contributor shares the same opportunity.
Our vision is simple.
To build a worldwide community where people eagerly open each week's edition because they know they will discover stories worth sharing and products worth talking about.
If this vision resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you.
