How to Submit the Story?
New writers must request a contribution to ‘The KickStarter’ for their first story.
Once your story has been accepted, we will add you as an “author” for publication.
After that, you can easily submit new stories (unpublished “drafts” only) via your Medium handle.
It may take up to 48 hours for your story to be added to our publication.
If you do not see an acceptance within this time frame, your story has probably not been accepted.
