Submission Guidelines To “Simple Story Seekers”

Please Read Carefully Before Submitting Your Stories To Us

More information about what we accept at Simple Story Seekers (SSS)

We sometimes get other types of submissions, like book reviews or poetry. But for the moment, we will not focus on those. So please do not send them our way for now.

Please send your “how-to guides” and your magical ways to becoming a billionaire to other pubs.

Also, we Do NOT publish “erotica”, because this pub is not about such.

Most of our pieces are simple, short stories of everyday life. We might publish fiction inspired by personal experiences, but that’s about it.

If your story does not match our listed categories, please send it elsewhere. No hard feelings.

We do not accept AI-generated pieces

We know AI is a high-tech giant, and how we can write with AI! But we are not interested in such pieces at “Simple Short Stories” Publication.

We’re humans with humane experiences, and we want to hear your stories expressed in a way that brings you closer to our mission!

Through your stories, we need to feel the deep kindness and even faulty or funky expressions that make us all a bit more creative sometimes.

If we get the feeling something is AI-generated, we reserve the right to check and decline your submission.

If our editors suspect AI and feel disgusted by the fact that you tried to trick us, we will come to a collective agreement and might even remove you as a writer.

No hate vibes!

The editors’ opinions matter in any story evaluation. Any submissions that promote hate, discrimination, disgust, or ugliness won’t get published. We want to spread kindness around the world.

Private notes left on your stories

Please turn on the feature of private notes before submitting your draft to us.

Make sure you respond to private notes within a maximum of 24 hours; otherwise, we might not publish your piece.

Wait time

We try to publish your story within 24 hours.

Multiple submissions

We appreciate your excitement about submitting your stories to us.

However, we do need to allow more people to contribute on a given day and space out your stories.

If you submit multiple pieces, we will usually wait at least 12 hours to even it out.

Social media promotion and sharing

We will do our best to share your submissions on the Simple Short Stories Facebook Page. In the future, we will look into more social media opportunities to share your work and will update it here.

Please send us only drafts

We only consider for publication only unpublished drafts.

Formatting your story

Please take your time to edit your work properly and use Grammarly. We prefer to have your story in its original state, without needing extra edits.

If you send something in that needs a lot of extra editing, we will leave a private note for you to answer in a maximum of 24 hours or decline your story altogether.

Title and Images

Please select a picture (preferably landscape format) and ensure the title is well formatted. Please use a title capitalization tool if you’re not sure of how it should look.

It is mandatory to use the proper citations for your images in all cases. Use the guides below if you’re not sure:
