A good title is important! Create an eye-catching title for your story, one that would make a person who sees it want to stop whatever they are doing and read it.

Publish under your name, twitter handle, secret agent name, or remain "Anonymous". If you include a twitter handle such as @billyshakespeare, when someone tweets your work you will get a lovely notification.

Use the editing area below the toolbar to write and format your writing. You can also paste formatted content here (e.g. from MS Word or Google Docs). The editing tool will do its best to preserve standard formatting--headings, bold, italic, lists, footnotes, and hypertext links. Click "Add Media" to upload images (or drag and drop them into the editor) to include in your writing. Embed audio and video from social sites by putting its URL on a blank line. Add automatic footnotes to text by adding [efn_note]footnote content[/efn_note].

See details on the formatting tools in the editing tool tips.

Add any endnote / credits information you wish to append to the end of your writing, such as a citation to where it was previously published or any other meta information. URLs will be automatically hyperlinked when published.

Upload an image file to be used in the header for your writing. Ideally the image should be at least 1440px wide and < 26 Mb in size. Images should either be your own or one licensed for re-use; provide an attribution credit for the image in the caption field below.

To provide better web accessibility and search results, enter a short alternative text that can be substituted for this image.

Provide full credit / attribution for the header image.

Check as many that apply.

Add any descriptive tags for your writing. Separate multiple ones with commas.

If you provide an email address when your writing is published, you can request a special link that will allow you to edit it again in the future.

This information will *not* be published with your work, it is only to sent to the editor of TRU Writer.

Choose your preferred reuse option.
