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.
