Q: Do I, the writer for Hauntedamericatours.com,
keep full credit for my work submitted to Hauntedamericatours.com?
A: Yes. You receive and keep full credit for your
work. You own the copyright to anything that you
write for Hauntedamericatours.com and we always
place the writer's full name and e-mail address
on the article itself unless we are asked not to
by the writer. However, by submitting articles and
other writing works to Hauntedamericatours.com you
are giving us permission to use and post this work
on our Haunted tours website and in any other form
we deem fit.
Q: Are there haunted Hauntedamericatours.com
assignments?
A: No. There are no Haunted America Tours assignments.
We would like all articles to be about the paranormal
or supernatural topics. There could be a time in
the future where we ask some writers to write about
a topic but no one is required to write anything.
Q: Can we write about anything
paranormal, or HAUNTED or do we have to stick to
one ghostly topic?
A: Writers have free range to write about anything
that they want. You can stick to one topic and write
all your articles about that topic or you can jump
around and cover a lot of different paranormal areas.
It's up to you.
Q: Do the writersfor Hauntedamericatours.com
get paid?
A: Sadly no. We are a small website and we do not
offer any payment for writers. Writers can always
use the articles written for Hauntedamericatours.com
on future resumes and to sell to other paranormal
magazines.
Q: Are there any limits to
how much I can write?
A: YES! This is an important question.
There are limits. We ask that writers only submit
a MAXIMUM of 2 articles per month. This rule isn't
written in stone, but it's to keep Hauntedamericatours.com
from getting flooded each month with hundreds of
articles from the same writer. There is NO MINIMUM
amount. So you can write one a month or one every
six months. It's up to you.
Q: Do you want paronormal
articles or Ghost stories?
A: Mostly Haunted articles but we do like Ghost
stories. By Ghost stories we do not mean made up
fictional ghost stories, but actual true life paranormal
accounts. We try to keep our website as real as
possible.
Q: Are there any rules with
the writing content?
A: Yes. NO abusive or foul language, NO sexual topics
unless it is very relevant to the story, NO racist
comments, and NO liable, slander or plagiarism.
You are responsible for anything that you write.
If you break the law or violate someone else's rights,
then you are completely and fully responsible for
any criminal or civil actions taken against you.
Q: Are there length requirements
or word counts?
A: No. But article length is very important. You
need to find the medium. Not too short and not too
long. If your topic is too large you might want
to break it down and focus on certain areas of it.
Don't go into long-winded stories that lead nowhere.
You don't have to try to include every single little
detail of a story. Remember people like to find
information on the Internet, but they didn't come
to this website to read a novel. If your work does
not meet length requirements we will let you know.
