I’m happy to accept most stories as long as they follow these broad guidelines:
- The story’s central focus is about problems with some part of the Australian government-funded assistive technology system, or an area closely related to this.
- The story is true, and either we have permission from the people involved or names and all identifying characteristics have been changed.
- The story is in English or includes a full translation in English.
- The length and format are appropriate for a website. Long stories can usually be serialised into set of posts, short ones are fine, ones told totally or partially via photos, drawings, video, or other non-word-based media are also fine as long as they’ll be comprehensible to the general readership and we can find a way to put them on the website.
- The quality is appropriate. If the story is told in words, this means that the spelling and grammar are of a fair quality. If this is a problem for you, I am quite willing to help you your story – just contact me and ask.
- There’s nothing that’s going to be needlessly offensive in the story’s telling. Things which include “edgy” topics and push the boundaries of appropriate are fine though.
- There’s nothing illegal in the story. This just covers things where we could get in trouble for having the story on our website, such as if a story encourages criminal behaviour or gives instructions on how to do illegal stuff or similar.
If you have a story that you think would be appropriate for this website but doesn’t fit within the guidelines, please contact me and we can discuss it.
