Writing
Post with careYou can post, but there are rules to clear first.
Can you post your project here?
Posts sharing your own writing or a side project must be exclusively posted in the weekly self-promotion and critique thread. This rule applies to advertisements for books, websites, or other ventures as well. Posts should aim to be broadly useful to writers to avoid being considered 'low effort'.
Before you post: All self-promotion including sharing your own writing or project launches must be limited to the weekly self-promotion and critique thread.
The rules, in their words
- Posting Work: Samples of writing, whether for critique, self-promotion, or general sharing, may only be posted in the weekly self-promotion and critique thread. Requests for writing partners may also only be posted in the critique thread. Requests for school help should be posted in r/homeworkhelp, including posts about school essays or citations.
- Self-Promotion: We do not allow advertisements for your book, website, new subreddit, etc., or for you to do so on behalf of another company, outside of the self-promotion thread. This includes both posts and comments.
- Posts should be thoughtful and useful to a broad community of writers: We ask that users frame their posts so they are useful to multiple people. If your post invites answers that are specific to your work alone, it belongs in our brainstorming thread. “Low effort” posts (two lines of text, repetitive questions, etc.) will be removed. Posts focused on personal sharing may only be posted in the general discussion thread.
- Submission Calls Requirements/AMAs: Calls for submissions (including posts about general writing work) must include 1) payment information; 2) submission deadlines; 3) rights requested; 4) any other relevant information. Directing to a website to answer these questions is not allowed. Please limit yourself to one post per publishing cycle. AMAs may not be posted without mod approval. We prefer subjects be part of the wider writing industry or have done something more than publish a book. Please message modmail for AMA requests.
- Civility: Treat other people with decency and respect. We encourage healthy debate and discussion, but we will remove antagonistic, caustic, or otherwise belligerent posts. We moderate on tone rather than language. Racist, homophobic/transphobic, misogynistic, ableist, and other categories of hate speech (including against “acceptable targets”) will be removed. Please report any instances of offensive talk, and the mods will deal with them. Internet vigilantism and doxxing will not be tolerated.
- Call-out threads and genre/literary-bashing: The forum is a place where we all come together to celebrate what we do: write. We will remove posts: berating other people for their genre/subject/literary taste; adherence or non-adherence to rules; calling people morons for giving a particular sort of advice; insisting that their opinion is the only one worth having; being antagonistic towards particular types of books or audiences; or implying that a particular work is for “idiots”, or “snobs”, etc.
