FAQs:

🌟 Do I have to make a new book?

You can submit an existing or separate book but please ensure that when submitting, the link must be your entry link and we cannot add your existing book in our respective reading list.

🌟 Does it have to be 1000 words and do I need to write a single chapter only?

As it's a one-shot contest, the word limit is that and not over. Adding more chapters is welcome but please keep in mind the whole book must meet our word limit.

🌟 Can I do a co-written story with someone?

Yes, you can!

🌟 Can I enter more than one entry?

As much we love to read your creative stories, only one entry per user is permitted.

🌟 What about Mature? Are LGBTQ+ characters allowed?

Of course, we always welcome LGBTQ+ characters and stories! Mature is allowed as well but please remember that it must meet the content guidelines in order to be accepted.

Stories are judged on various factors, such as writing quality (spelling, punctuation, and grammar), originality, and relation to our prompts.
