The requirements for Manuscript.doc you send in for publishing. You must do it on the Contact page.

We will read your entry and if it shows potential we will accept it and edit it before publishing or we will give you guidelines as to how to correct or upgrade your submission.

We are looking urgently for writers to make the magazine more interesting and stimulating for readers. We, however, have certain goals we pursue as far as we are able to. These are healthy rules that will capture readers and ensure that they come back for more.

Serials, short stories or articles must be checked with Word’s and Grammarly’s spelling and grammar functions. Download Grammarly on your computer. Submit a clean manuscript with only logical deviations from these spelling and grammar checks.

Tips. Ask yourself the following questions.

  1. What are the lessons of life your story bring?
  2. Who are the main characters and will readers be interested in what they do?
  3. Will the reader be intrigued by the main character from beginning to end?
  4. Are the supporting characters’ actions and roles necessary and will the readers gladly follow it?
  5. Are there any unnecessary characters or events?
  6. Don’t you dwell on events that do not enhance the central theme of the story too long?
  7. Do you describe events and characters with words rather than actions or attitudes? The golden rule: don’t describe what you can show!
  8. Are you putting in more facts and background that is interesting but not necessary?
  9. Do you jump around in time?
  10. Is there coherence in your story? Does the reader always know what is going on?
  11. Do you follow the most coherent storyline that will grip the reader from start to finish? (If you want to jump around in time to enhance the storyline it is acceptable as long as the story flows logically)
  12. Are there pieces in which little happens to interest readers and how can I change that?
    What is the best end to the story (conclusive or open); is it realistic and surprising?
  13. Don’t you offend political, sexual or religious feelings?
  14. Do you use unnecessary crude vocabulary without looking for better alternatives?

We sincerely hope that we can work as a team and publish your story. We can only promise you exposure. So, send us a short ‘About the author’ summary, more or less the same as that of Anton Pan with all your personal info and social links. It will be put as a permanent advertisement on our cover page.

We hope to get enough traffic in time and paid advertisements that we can compensate writers in future.

Thank you for reading this. Please send us your manuscript. We are waiting anxiously for it.
