  • Accepted Formats: Submissions will be accepted in the form of an Amazon link or a PDF copy of the book. Please note that if you submit an Amazon link, it must be a permanently free title (sometimes called permafree). Books that are only temporarily free, such as through a KDP Select promotion, are best advertised by other means. All submissions will be verified and spot-checked regularly to guard against anyone trying to advertise paid books on this site. You may plug your paid titles in the BadManFusion.com forums if you wish.
  • Quality Proof: To help set this site apart, and create a richer experience for its users, each submission must be accompanied by a link to an existing book written by the author. It does not need to be the same story being submitted, but it must have collected an average rating of at least 3.75 stars (or equivalent) so as to prove the author's merit. Also, glaring errors in the first page will likely result in the story not being approved. This is not meant to penalize anyone; no hard feelings.
  • Story Must Be Yours: Submitting stories that you've come across by other means is not permitted. Only the author may submit his/her work.
  • No "Previews": You are more than welcome to submit the first book of a paid series, as long as it contains a reasonably satisfying conclusion. You may also include a "sneak peak" of a paid novel at the end of a free story submission. However, do not submit incomplete portions of a book with the intention of prompting readers to purchse the full novel. All stories on this site are understood to be free.
  • You Can Sign Your Story With a Hyperlink: One of the major advantages of this site is that you may indeed provide a link back to your own author website, Facebook page, Twitter feed, etc. It will be displayed alongside your work. You may also place logos, links, etc inside your PDF file (if you submitted one). Please note however that I will be vetting these links. Random links to sites that have nothing to do with the author will likely result in a rejection.
  • Length: Stories of any length will be accepted, but please don't send me War And Peace as a PDF file. Also don't send me one file crammed with every story you've ever written. One story per submission.
  • Don't Have a Book Cover?: That's fine. Covers are great of course, but if you haven't got one I'll just assign a generic representation.
  • Why Should You Even Bother?: Pretty much because it's one more place to gain exposure. Unlike most story websites, your submission here will be displayed completely at random. There's no paid "premium placement" and no categories or lists for people to wade through to find you. A story scrawled on a dinner napkin has the same chance of discovery as one wrapped in a $500 cover. Though, once again, you'll need to provide a Quality Proof when submitting.
