Welcome to the stories forum! Do not upload any files to this forum; you may paste up to 5000 words per post. You never know who is going to be reading this forum: the publisher, the editor in chief, or even other publishers. If we at TSP find your story captivating, we will offer to purchase it for our Stories forum off the main page. Ultimately we will choose the best from that forum for our yearly anthology which will be a hardback book.

And no we don't expect you to do any of this for free. We will purchase your story, and we'll figure out the anthology when that time comes. There is no other forum like this out there for writers so enjoy but realize that each story can and will be remarked upon by other writers. And only politely! Writers do need to take editing calmly, and if this is your first story out there, you may well get a few comments. Nobody is trying to hurt your feelings; all we want is for you to write your best so we can sell it and we can all make money!
