Contribute

Your story is part of PenTales.

Be it a cell phone pic or a drawing, a quick poem or a 500 word narrative…this is your story and your format, with just a few guidelines.

Choose a theme that speaks to you

You need to choose a theme you want your story to help define.

So, what counts as a story / what can I submit?

1. An image inspired by the theme you are submitting to (a cell phone pic, a sketch, a masterful photograph, a brilliant cartoon, a drawing on a napkin… get creative!). Your submission must be your own work.
2. Words (in English) inspired by the theme you are submitting to: (anything under 500 words). Your submission must be your own work.

3. Audio (3 min or less) inspired by the theme you are submitting to. Your submission must be your own work.

4. Film (3 min or less) inspired by the theme you are submitting to. Your submission must be your own work.

And… How do I submit?

Fill out the form, upload your media and press submit. That was easy.

What happens then?

1.Your submission should be up within the next few days. Your story joins the other global stories on this topic. If we really like your contribution we’ll feature it on our homepage and also ask to do a feature on you. Please note that a light editorial brush may be applied on your contribution (only grammatical or punctuation errors will be corrected). The content will remain untouched. Please do inform us if any such error has been deliberately included in your contribution!
2. All themes – and all stories – remain on pentales.com for posterity, and one theme is highlighted each month.
