Writing
Welcome to “My Novel Journey”
Submission guidelines
Originally, I started “My Novel Journey” to chart my novel-writing progress, but now want to open this publication up to any writers who are working on a book.
Fiction, memoir, nonfiction, poetry, novella, etc.,
All are welcome!
Writing a book is not an easy task, so this is your home to tell the story behind your story, within a supportive writing community.
Submission Ideas
You can journal your progress to stay accountable for your writing goals and to record your progress. I have read other writers’ blogs from when they were writing their first book and it’s fascinating to see their methods, mistakes, and ideas along the way.
I also welcome the craft of writing articles that relate to writing a book and craft writing books, websites, workshops, you recommend.
Short and long-form articles are accepted.
Be a Writer
To be added as a writer for Flint & Steel, leave the response, “I want to be a writer with your Medium username” in the comments to this post. I will add you within 24–48 hours.
General Guidelines
- Writers must abide by the Medium Rules.
- Be kind, courteous, and professional.
- All photos must be your own or uncopyrighted. You can find images here on Medium via Unsplash and at Pexels for example. Use the photo caption space to give credit to the photographer or write “photo by author.”
- Cite quotes and references as needed for your article.
- Let’s create a community here. Interact and support your fellow writers. Read, highlight, comment, follow your fellow Flint & Steel writers. It’s the best way to spread the word about your writing.

Submission Review Process
- Please allow 24–48 hours for submission review. Generally, I edit and publish your piece within 24 hours, but sometimes life happens.
- I will review tags and perform basic copyediting on all articles.
- As my way of supporting each writer, I will highlight, clap and leave a comment on each article. I will also tweet your article.
