THE FOLKTAILS WAY

How to contribute to FolkTails

Every companion has a story, and every pet parent has a voice. Share your poems, personal stories, tributes or thoughtful writing about the lives we share with animals.

Send us your words

Email your contribution to support@etaya.in. Use “FolkTails contribution — Your title” as the subject. Include the title, your writing, the name you would like us to publish and a way to reach you. You can paste your writing into the email or attach a Word document.

First time writing for FolkTails? Include your author profile

If you are a first-time FolkTails author, please include a short author profile with your submission so we can create your author page when your work is published. Tell us your preferred public name, a little about yourself, your interests and any relevant writing or professional experience. You may also include links to your published work or professional profiles, and an optional portrait you have permission to share. Please send only details you are comfortable making public; your email address will not be included on your author page.

Your work and permission

Send original work you own or have permission to submit. Credit any sources and tell us if the piece has appeared elsewhere. In your email, confirm that FolkTails may publish your contribution and the author profile you provide with your chosen credit. You retain copyright in your writing. Only send photographs or other material you have permission to publish.

What happens next

Our team reviews contributions and selects pieces for publication. Sending a submission does not guarantee publication. We may contact you to discuss your writing, profile or proposed edits before publishing. Please avoid including private details about other people without their permission.

Prefer to use a form?

You can also submit your writing through the form on Your Words. First-time authors should include their author profile in the message, or email it to support@etaya.in with the same submission title.
