We welcome authors of all ages and experience levels!
Whether you're six or ninety-six, have a best selling book or have just
written your first poem, send it in!
If you have a
story or poem to share, please submit it to one of the
categories below. Click on the
teal underlined category name, it should open up a pre-addressed e-mail
for you. If it doesn’t please just put: SUBMISSION FOR… and the
appropriate category in the subject line. Send it to
sfpnn@sfpnn.com .
Make sure you
include the title and your author name as you’d like it to appear.
You may also include your e-mail contact info, a short author bio
(one – two paragraphs
max)
, a favorite quote and/or a link to
another personal website or professional website where your work or another worthy
cause is featured.
You are
welcomed to include photos. We prefer to receive them in .jpg format
but we can convert most others except .cdr
files. We cannot send the photos in our e-mail
distribution, however, they will be featured with your story on our
website.
Please try to
adhere to the word counts but note that the word count listed after
each category is approximate. It’s ok if it goes over or under a little
bit. These are guidelines based on what holds our readers’ attention and
the amount of space we have in our issues. If it’s a great story but goes
way over the suggested word count for a specific category, try to break it
down into sequences… Part 1 of 2, Part 2 of
2, etc. Make sure you include how many sequences there are so
we can make sure we’ve got the ENTIRE story.
J
Any editing
you can do on your own as far as spell checks, punctuation, grammar, etc.,
will be greatly appreciated. However you don’t have to be a
professional writer. If you’ve got a story to tell and have never written
before that’s OK. Just talk into the page and we’ll do the rest. Just
make sure it’s positive!
Although we love
to share all upbeat material and stories, we cannot feature work with
an unauthorized copyright so please don't send anything you know is
from Chicken Soup for the Soul, Guidepost, etc., unless you have
permission to redistribute it.
Many of SFPNN's stories are based on spiritual material, however, we do
not tell our readers what religion to practice. With a global
distribution, we have readers of all faiths so your submissions should
have a universal theme.
No commercial, sales, marketing or business promotions please!
ABSOLUTELY NO SPAMMING! We will report those who abuse these links!
All of our authors work on
a volunteer basis.
Thanks for
