ANNOUNCEMENT: Common Ties has secured a book deal! Our deadline for reviewing content is Nov. 1, 2009, and we plan to publish a book of illustrated confessions through Santa Monica Press in 2010. We are paying $100 for each illustrated confession in the book.

Writers Guidelines

If you would like to submit an illustrated confession, please email CT20Questions@gmail.com with the question(s) you are answering (if any - see our Questions page for examples), your answer, and artwork (see Artists Guidelines for details). Please keep in mind:

1. Answers must be pasted into your email.
2. Answers should be 50 words or less. The shorter the better.
3. We only reply to those whose answers we wish to publish.
4. We only review answers that include artwork; if you prefer to collaborate with an artist, you are more than welcome to do so.
5. Please submit your name as you would like it to appear when published; use a real name, a pen name, or "Anonymous."
6. By submitting to Common Ties, you warrant that you have full rights to your submission, and that it has not been previously published (if it has, let us know where and we will determine if we can still use it).
7. Artists retain copyright to their work; by submitting to Common Ties, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and otherwise exercise all copyright and publicity rights with respect to that information at our exclusive discretion. Common Ties reserves the right to select, edit, and arrange submissions for publication.
