Submit a story

Photo Dojo is a publication focused on sharing great articles written by talented photographers around the world. We publish anything from tutorials and gear discussion to photo essays and philosophical articles. It’s a community of likeminded artists and we’d love for you to join us.

But first let’s go over those dastardly rules.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

Submissions must comply with Medium’s own rules. This is their house, we are guests!

All submissions must be unpublished. Click here to see how to submit a draft to a publication

All submissions must be photography related. This is a Photo Dojo after all.

We encourage the use of photos in your submissions whether they be your own work or from Unsplash. Photos MUST be credited in the caption.

Once your article/story has been published in Photo Dojo we ask that you do not remove it from the publication. We understand that occasionally a writer may remove a story from Medium but if this becomes a habit then we will cease to publish the writer’s work.

We encourage multiple submissions but we will publish a maximum of one story per day per writer. Other accepted submissions will be scheduled for another day.

Submissions may undergo editing for grammar and formatting but any changes to the content of the article will be discussed with the author before any changes occur and before publication.

How to submit a draft to Photo Dojo

Medium’s Partner Program

We actively encourage our writers to publish their articles with Photo Dojo under the Medium Partner Program. If you are a Medium Partner then before submitting your draft to Photo Dojo you must ‘lock’ your article yourself. (Make this story eligible to earn money? > Yes > Save.)

We are unable to publish your article under the Medium Partner Program for you. Only you can edit this after publication.

You can earn money under the Medium Partner Program, the amount is determined by, and only by, Medium. Photo Dojo plays no part in any monetary agreements.
