SUBMIT

Please read the guidelines below that correspond to what you’re submitting. Due to the large volume of submissions Yeah Write Receives, content that does not adhere to the guidelines will be deleted. If what you want to submit isn’t listed here, send YW an ask.

Please note that this is not where you submit works for our literary magazine, The Yeah Write Review. That submission page is here.


Story/Poetry/Etc. Submissions

1. Post your story, poem, etc. on your own Tumblr.
2. In the Title bar of the submission box, type the first word that the prompt is tagged with (visitable on the permalink page of the prompt—it’s the first word under the prompt with a #hashtag next to it). By putting that unique tag into the Title bar, I know which prompt to post your story on.
3. Type the title of your story. Make the title into a link to where the story is posted on your own Tumblr.
4. Type “by” and your name. Your byline can be your Tumblr username, your real name, your pen name… whatever you prefer!
5. Click Submit!

Still having trouble? Confused? Here’s what a submission should look like.

Prompt Idea Submissions

1. Write “Prompt idea by yourtumblrusername:”. If you want, you can make your username a link to your blog.
2. On a new line, write your prompt idea.
3. Click Submit!
4. Since only 2 prompts are posted a day, it can sometimes take weeks before your prompt idea gets to the top of the queue. To check if it’s published, type yeahwriters.tumblr.com/tagged/yourtumblrusername into your address bar.

Promotions & Friends of YW!

If you have something you want us to promote, send us a submission as you would want to see it published on Yeah Write. Things we promote include other community writing blogs, calls for submissions, contests, job/internship listings, etc. Please include the name of your website, organization, literary magazine, etc., and a link to where people can find more information or submit. I also highly recommend including some kind of image—your logo, the header of your blog, a poster—since posts with images get far more attention on Tumblr than ones that don’t!

If you have a static website/blog similar to Yeah Write’s, you may also simply write us with a link to you website/blog and a note saying you’d like to be added to the Friends of YW!” page.

Please note that we only publish promotion for community-oriented blogs, websites, contests, etc. We do not promote individuals’ writing blogs.
