We’ve updated our submission guidelines

We know the new year is coming up, but we didn’t want to wait to make changes. We’ve made some updates to our submission guidelines that will be important for all of our contributors. Here are the highlights:

Subject matter

Previously, all content needed to be consistent in either inspiring or educating our audience within the writing or general creative industry. We have broadened this scope to include stories of emotional tales or situations that you have experienced. It doesn’t have to be specifically about creativity, but it must be personal in describing your emotional condition.

How to submit

If you are new to CRY and not already one of our writers, we ask that you email your draft to kern@wecrydeep.com. Please make sure it is a draft within Medium and not already published.

To send a draft, simply click on the three dots beside “publish” on the top right corner of your story. You will then have the option to copy and paste the link which you can then email to the above address.

If you’re already a writer for CRY, simply submit your story in draft form. If you have not heard back from us within three days, it means we will not be publishing your piece.

No more writing prompts

We’ve made a name for ourselves with our regular writing prompts, but we’re giving that a bit of a rest, at least for this upcoming year. Instead, submissions will be open all year round. Feel free to submit whatever you like as long as it fits with what we’ve described in the subject matter heading.
