The Story Projects
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
1. The “No”s-
- No profanity
- No sexual content
- No plagiarism in part or in whole
- No real life names or situations
2. Be sure to submit a correct email for correspondence if your piece is selected for the short story.
3. If your piece is selected for the published volume, you must be open to spelling or grammatical changes if need be. The Story Project will not suggest creative rewrites to your work.
4. If selected, you must respond back to The Story Project within 7 days to confirm that your piece will be included in the published volume.
5. Never forget what we are truly here to do: End homelessness.
6. Refer to Legal Disclaimer for additional details.
Now these are not hard rules, but some SUGGESTIONS for you as you submit your entries:
1. Keep your writing style simple. We are writing simple fiction short stories. We want to have flow from one chapter to the next, so keeping your submission more focused on the content of the story, rather than the style, will raise your chances of having your submission chosen!
2. If the story starts out light and funny, keep it light and funny. Keep up with the theme- that is what makes it fun! It makes it more like a "choose your own adventure". Just add your take on whatever is there!
3. We will be posting alerts so you know that the last chapter is upon us. That will just direct you on your submission. Perhaps you should make your chapter resolve the story. Perhaps you can make it a cliffhanger that we can pick up on next volume! That is the beauty of creativity; you never know what it could grow up to be.
4. If your membership allows for it, join the forum! It is a creative think take where we can have some fun and spark some direction!
