Submission details

Your working copy

Your working copy stays in this tab while you write. It is cleared when the email service accepts the submission, unless you have made new edits while it was sending; those edits remain here. If sending fails, your copy stays for retry or copying. If you choose device saving above, it remains available for later visits. Dated copies in this tab or on this device expire after 30 days without use; the browser clears them when you return. Older undated drafts may still restore. Choose Clear working copy on a shared device.

Email and access

The “Send submission” button sends your name, reply email and work details through Vercel and Resend to the editorial inbox. Hemant manages the editorial inbox. Google hosts it. Some apps linked to his Google account have permission to read or send Gmail messages, including submissions. Editors and collaborators cannot browse the inbox. If a specific contribution needs review or production help, Hemant may share that message with the relevant person; submissions are not forwarded automatically.

Your work

We receive your name, reply email and submission text when you send them. We use it to consider your work and contact you if needed. This page does not upload files, and we never sell submission data. Publication requires a separate agreement.

To amend or withdraw a submission, or request access or deletion, email the editorial desk at this address. Include the working title or delivery reference if you have one. Read the privacy notice and publication terms.

Start with a short pitch

Have an idea?

You do not need a finished portfolio to start a conversation. Share the idea, why it matters and one optional link; we can ask for more as the conversation develops.

A starting pitch of roughly 100–200 words is enough. This is guidance, not a word-count requirement. If a client, employer, funder or sponsor is involved, mention that too.
