Q&A:

Do contributors get paid?

As of January 1, 2018, contributors will be paid a flat fee of $15 via paypal.

Are you going to edit or change my post?

I will check over all submissions for formatting/copy edits, but your words will be your own. If I have to change anything more significant than a typo, I’ll let you know.

Will every submission be posted?

I hope so! But I reserve the right to reject a submission for any reason. I promise, I will tell you why in my email, and you will be welcome to revise and resubmit.

Submission guidelines:

All posts should be:

copied into the body of the email

If there are images, please make sure they are pg-13, attached (not embedded!) with a clear notation of where they should be placed in the text
Your byline (how you want your name to appear on the post). “Anonymous” is a perfectly acceptable byline.
Your name. While I won’t share your name unless you give me permission (see above) I would still like to know who I’m talking to. 🙂
