  2. One submission per month at least per staff’s writer, and one maximum per month by each guest writer.  We want to give everyone a chance to share their words and this will help vary the featured stories.

  3. Stories can be any genre. We simply want you to show off your best creative work.

Ideal story length

We prefer to publish articles and stories between 900–2,000 words. Research has found the ideal story length to be a sweet spot with a 7-minute reading time. 

General Content Guidelines:

  • You may not sell advertising in or on your content.
  • The predominant purpose of a story should not be to drive traffic to an external website, business, or product.
  • If you have received compensation, free goods/services, or anything of value in connection with the topic of a story, you must make this clear.
  • Similarly, you must disclose affiliate links (e.g., Amazon affiliate links to a book). For example, you can put this line at the top of your story: “Disclosure: This story contains affiliate links.”
  • Do not ask or include other calls to action, including requests for donations, or other links or embeds for the purpose of capturing user information or soliciting money.

What We Don’t Want

  1. Pieces that are divisive, erotic, or gratuitously violent.
  2. Articles that stray too far from our focus of being creative, or how art and life intersect.
  3. Excessive spelling and grammatical errors.
  4. Stories that are not fully developed or are missing a plot or point.
  5. Stories that were published in other publications. Again, we have to play fair.
