– SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN –

Do YOU have a scary story to tell? Is it real? Is it fictional tale of terror? We’d LOVE to hear it! Micro Terrors is now accepting short stories from children! They will be featured on the site and narrated on the podcast for everyone to fear! It will also be featured in one of the many planned Micro Terrors anthology books, and every young contributor will receive a free paperback copy of the book! Send your stories, fact or fiction, to microterrors@gmail.com.

Check out our guidelines listed below!

  • Micro Terrors was designed to entertain. Scary is fine, however: No blood. No gore. No foul language. No sex. Subject matter should not be triggering or controversial.
  • Your story should not exceed 1,000 words. 
  • Submissions are open for children under 18 years of age.
  • By submitting a story, you are giving Micro Terrors permission to publish the story at MicroTerrors.com, have it narrated on the podcast, and have it included in a Micro Terrors anthology book published on Amazon.com in Kindle, Paperback and  possibly Audiobook mediums.
  • It is understood by the child author and parents of the author that compensation for the story submission and publishing is granted in exposure of the story in a published form as well as a single paperback copy of the anthology it is included in, following its release. 
  • The Micro Terrors creative team will edit the story for grammar and spelling, and has the right to turn a story down if it doesn’t meet the above criteria. We also reserve the right to edit out any elements that we deem too extreme for the podcast [violence, subject matter, etc.].
  • Use of AI is not allowed. If AI is suspected in the writing, it will be run through an AI detector. If AI is determined to have been used, the story will be politely denied.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**

We cannot promise, or guarantee, a timeframe for which your story will air on the podcast or appear in one of our anthology releases. We try our best to get them aired and published as soon as we can.
