Why YOU Write: Call for “Why I Write” Essays
If you are a
writer, have you ever written an essay exploring your reasons for writing?
If so, then I am interested in reading and posting your “Why I Write”
non-fiction piece, 500-5,000 words, on this site. I’m looking for as many
essays as possible by both known and unknown writers, published or unpublished,
especially unknown and minimally published writers, for I am a firm believer
that all writers deserve a voice.
Traditional publishing does not always offer such a platform for
struggling writers.
You can read more about how traditional publishers “ban” and “censor”
books here.
What’s in it for you? At this point, I can’t pay anything for your work,
but you may, within your essay, promote your own books and link to your own
homepage/website. As this site grows, so will exposure to your work.
Your work will be attributed to you (with a copyright notice), and you
will retain all rights to your work, which means you will be free to republish
and repost it elsewhere.
I will accept just about any “Why I Write” essay, as long as it is fairly
well-written and stays on topic.
However, there are some exceptions:
·
No spam or unrelated ad links (other than links
promoting your own work)
·
No links to malware sites and websites unrelated
to you and your work
·
No adult content (hardcore porn, that is; adult
social themes welcome)
·
No hate speech against minorities and/or ethnic
groups
·
No sexual harassment
·
No off-topic work
Please submit your work in the body of your email (not as an attachment).
If you could also provide a short bio and a jpeg image (as an email
attachment) – photograph or original artwork – that would be great!
If you have any questions, please email me.
Keep on writing!
