The Collective's Submission form.

Hey there and thanks for checking out this form. The Poe-tato Writing Collective is a blog dedicated and committed to showcasing the work of other writers in our community. And of course, ours is focused towards the themes Edgar Allan Poe-tato would often write about, such as: death, loss, paranoia, the human condition, and of course, potatoes.
You might think we're joking on that last part. But no, we do want to see pieces about potatoes. We would also love to see pieces about potatoes going through loss and paranoia. But, please don't feel obligated to submit such potato-ey pieces. Any of the themes we mentioned will do just fine.
If you'd like to see our full guidelines on what we accept and don't accept here at the Collective, please click this link: Submission Guidelines
Below is a few things to note before filling the form out.
1) We don't retain any level of ownership over your work. You're free to submit a piece here and also post it elsewhere.
2) AI use is not condoned, and if we find any in your work (whether it be text or imagery), we will not accept your submission.
3) Short Stories must be 2000 words or less, and Poetry must be should be no more than five pages long in google docs at 16x font (Times New Roman).
4) We receive a ton of submissions, so it may take awhile for us to get accept and get started on yours. Please don't reach out to us wondering when we'll get started. We'll let you know when we're ready.
5) In order to get your submission approved, we ask you like and restack two poems or short stories from the Collective. Doing this does not guarantee your post will be approved if your work doesn't fit our guidelines.
