How to Submit
- All submissions should be emailed to the group admin in pdf format on either Friday or Saturday by 9pm.
- Weekly submissions are currently limited to one per person and to 10 submissions total.
- If your piece is longer than the recommended word count, please try to send it on Friday so people have more time to read.
- For weekly submissions, the suggested word count is 1000-2000 words. This is not a hard limit, but please nothing more than 3k words, max.
The group admin emails pieces out Friday and Saturday evenings. Yes, that means you’ll have less than 24 hours to read some things, but we’ve established that most group members prefer to read everything on Sunday mornings before the 12:30pm meeting.
Format Notes
- Please provide any necessary content/trigger warnings (see the Code of Conduct).
- Provide some context or a brief summary if you feel it’s necessary — an intro paragraph or some notes at the end. (This is also good pitch practice!) If your story has previous installments or connected pieces in the Archive, be sure to mention it so that people can refer back if necessary/if they have time.
- Keep things comfortable and legible for your reader. Please don’t crunch spacing or use tiny fonts.
In the Meeting
- Come on Sunday having read through everyone’s pieces, and ready to discuss!
- Submission is always optional. So is giving feedback. However, if you submitted a piece and will be receiving feedback, please reciprocate by reading the other submissions and contributing when those pieces are discussed.
