So,
you think you're a Lost Writer?
We love submissions
from folks we’ve never met. You should send them to:
Editors@lostwriters.net
with ‘Submission’ in the title. We’ll probably
take about four weeks before we can get back to you, and please
know that at this point in time, we’re not paying for submissions.
However, if you still want to send something, please feel free to
do so. Here are some general guidelines for submissions, if you’re
wondering:
| 1) |
|
Be brilliant. Always. |
| |
| 2) |
|
Length: Use common
sense; not a paragraph, not a novel. Otherwise, we're fairly
loose about this. If you really want some guidance, though,
aim for 2-3 pages. |
| |
| 3) |
|
Editing: We editors
love submissions from people we don’t know. We hate it,
however, when those people we don’t know don’t have
the common decency to re-read their piece for typos and grammar
and sentence structure before sending them to us. We’re
busy people, folks, and while we will definitely take the time
to read every submission, if you haven’t taken the time
to make sure your submission is in the best possible shape you
can make it, then we won’t be able to treat it with the
respect it deserves. |

| 4) |

Tone: Remember, this
is a big audience. While you may think everyone will get a particular
Family Guy or Star Wars reference, not everyone will. While
one, maybe two of those can be funny and add some real personality
to the piece, an entire article filled with inside jokes isn't
going to make sense to many people besides you, your pals, and
possibly your mother. And hopefully, our readership is larger
than that. |
