APPLICATIONS & SUBMISSIONS

Hej Writer,

Ready to join the crew of The Resilience? Here’s how to apply to join our writers’ community and what to expect from the process.

Who We’re Looking For

Writers who read “semi-sentient pirate ship” and think “brilliant!” rather than “bonkers.” We welcome storytellers across all genres – from sweet romance to Norse mythology, cozy fantasy to deliciously spicy erotica. What matters most is your passion for craft and collaborative creativity.

How to Apply

E-mail me with:

  • A brief introduction: Tell us about yourself, your writing background, and what draws you to our crew
  • A writing sample: 500-1500 words of your best work (any genre, any style)
  • A few words about your Resilience or Concordia connection: Which corner of our literary universe interests you the most?

What Happens Next

  • We aim to acknowledge your application within 48 hours
  • We review applications weekly
  • If you’re a good fit, we’ll invite you to our Discord server for a casual chat
  • New crew members are welcomed aboard with a proper introduction and orientation

Submission Guidelines for Crew Members

Once aboard, here’s how our collaborative projects usually work:

Anthologies & Collections

  • Submit 1,000-7,500 words unless otherwise specified
  • Follow the theme/prompt guidelines provided
  • Standard manuscript format (double-spaced, 12pt font)
  • Include a brief story synopsis-spaced, 12pt font)

Our Review Process

  • All submissions receive feedback, whether accepted or not
  • We focus on story craft, character development, and fit with our larger universe and vision
  • Revision requests are common and encouraged
  • Final editorial decisions rest with Captain Linn

Rights & Responsibilities

  • Contributors retain rights to their original characters and conceptsal decisions rest with Captain Linn
  • Shared universe elements remain part of Concordia lore
  • Published works credit all contributors appropriately
  • No exclusive rights required – you can use your work elsewhere

Questions?

Not sure if your story fits? Wondering about a collaborative idea? Just ask! We’d rather discuss possibilities than have you wonder in silence.

Contact us through our main contact page or email me at linnea@aswewrite.com. We’re always happy to chat about creative possibilities.

Fair winds and following seas,

//Linnea Lucifer 🏴‍☠️
Captain of the Resilience
