The Dream Emporium
Date: 1-Dec-2022
About
After losing my primary publishing journal twice, I decided to start my own. Not that I wanted to be an editor or run my own journal on Medium, but I felt it was a necessity to ensure my work had a home.
So here we are at The Dream Emporium, a publication for fiction short stories.
Becoming a contributor
Simply e-mail me a draft link of your story to patrick.s.smith.author@gmail.com with the title “Consideration for becoming a contributor.”
Submission guidelines:
- Be a Medium member.
- I have poor editing skills, so please make sure your work is tight. I suggest using ProWritingAid or Grammarly before submitting work.
- Ensure all submissions have the tag “The Dream Emporium” in them.
- Preferably, keep your work under 30 minutes read time.
- Web novel/serialized stories/themed series are welcome. Heck, that is what The Chronicles of Olith is.
- Romance is good, but no erotica. If I think it goes too far, I’ll let you know.
- Abuse and cruelty for the sake of being abusive and cruel is out. This can get into a gray area, so again, if it goes too far, I’ll let you know.
- Feel free to crank that creativity up past eleven.
