Submissions
Silt Media Stories is looking for good stories in every genre. We’re especially looking for character-driven stories and the kind of thing that sticks with you well after you’ve finished reading it. We’ll take books, screenplays, stage plays, fanfics and poetry.
We do have a few guidelines:
- A manuscript review or edit is highly recommended. This is where a human editor reviews your manuscript.
- For books: have ARC readers review your work. If you need help setting this up, reach out to me here.
- No government politics or agendas.
- Human generated work only.
Before you submit, please take note of the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
How do I submit?
Use the Create your Writer Profile form to set up your profile. I’ll use this information to set up a page for you.
Then use the Submit your work form to add your writing to you page. You can submit as may items as you wish.
How much does this cost?
For writers: nothing. This platform is new and I’m not going to ask writers to pay for something that hasn’t proven it’s worth yet. I may need to rethink this if the site gets big enough, because of upkeep costs. But for now, there is no charge to list your work here. And if the site does get that big, I’m hoping other funding sources will allow me to keep it free for writers – please see below.
If you could share this site on your socials, I’d appreciate it!
What’s the catch?
If anything shared on this website becomes the subject of any screen adaptation, the owner of Silt Media Group requests the right of first refusal. In plain terms, if any filmmaker contacts you asking to turn your work into a screen adaptation (yay!), Silt Media Group will ask to negotiate an Executive Producer credit. The purpose of this credit is to gain publicity that draws more readers and filmmakers to this site. And eventually, start raising funds to cover running costs for the site and our bigger plans.
Note: this does not take any money from the writer. Check out the Terms and Conditions for more information.
Deleting your profile
If you decide later to delete your profile or you work from the site, please submit a Deletion Request. You can delete everything or just selected works.
If you’re deleting because you’re not ready to publish, please contact us first.
