The deadline for the annual poetry anthology - Diversity - is fast approaching!  I'm really looking forward to reading what everyone comes up with on this important topic.  Since I've had some questions come up about the posting procedure for the anthologies, I'm going to break them down and hope this helps when it comes time to upload your poems.  Cia has created a step-by-step tutorial with screenshots, which I will link to below.  Myr recently updated it to ensure it is as up to date as possible.   If you have any problems or questions when uploading your submission, please let me know. 

Submission Procedure *Please read carefully*

Once your poetry collection is complete and has gone through your beta and editing team, please complete the following steps:

• Submit your poems into the GA Stories Archive. For help, please read How do I upload my anthology entry into GA Stories?  The link is provided below.
  • Make sure the story is unpublished.
  • Select “Fiction” as the category. It will be moved later by staff. If you select 'poetry' or a different category by mistake, it's fine.  I will move it to the correct category once the anthology is ready to go live. 
  • Mark your story status as COMPLETE. Only completed works are allowed in the anthologies.
  • Please note that once you submit an unpublished story for the anthology, it will NOT show up in your list of stories for readers until the anthology has gone live.
  • Copy the URL for your story (not any chapter page) and paste it in the links topic so your submission may be checked to ensure it meets submission guidelines and can be moved to the anthology category. The links topic can be found in the anthology section of the Writer's Circle. 

[*]Please do a visual check of your story once it has been uploaded to ensure that it posted correctly. If it did not, contact @Cia or Valkyrie. 

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT do ANYTHING with your story once it has been submitted to the anthology. We lock edits to anthologies, but we can only lock so much and making ANY changes can cause issues with the system. If there is something with your story that absolutely needs fixed, added, etc, PLEASE contact @Cia or Valkyrie. Thank you!
