Submission Guidelines and Request to Contribute

1. The purpose of this publication is to encourage writers to keep writing, to remind them to take care of their mental health, and to offer advice that has worked for other writers. To that end, all pieces should strive for a positive message.

Honesty, even when ugly, is welcome; pessimism is not.

2. Writers come in an amazing variety of ethnicities, sizes, beliefs/values, and ages. This publication is for all of them. To keep this space family friendly and welcoming to everyone, pieces containing strong language or harsh, judgmental speech should be edited before they can be published. It's your business if your writing would normally make a sailor blush- I just want my baby sister to be allowed to read my publication!

3. All work should be edited before submission.

I'm happy to work with writers of all skill levels - that's the whole point of this publication. However, I can only publish high quality writing. Anything less does not serve our readers as they deserve.

As much as possible, I will try to work with you and offer constructive criticism so that I *can* publish your work - but I'm a college student and a wife, plus I have a Feline OverLady to tend to and my own writing to work on. My assistance will be limited by the time I have available for it. (And my own skill level. I'm still learning, too.)

4. All submissions must include at least one of our major tags, which are: Writing, Mental Health, Psychology, Creativity, and Reading.

5. In order to write for WWBW, you must have a Medium account (so you can easily submit your pieces and I can easily review and publish them). This one is non-negotiable.
