Write Your Inner Storm · Wall

A place for your storm.

Selected storms go up here — open to read, open to answer.

This is where stories find their readers. Entries are published after formatting, editorial work, and safety review, under each entry’s agreed rules and permissions. Once a storm is up, other people can respond to it.

Sample storms are written by the StormIt editorial desk to show the shape of a strong entry. The narrators are composites, not real entrants. The wall currently displays sample stories only.

After you submit

From submission to editorial review.

After payment and email confirmation, your entry is considered for publication through editorial review. Only editorially selected entries are published; not every submission will be published. Publication is separate from award selection and does not mean an entry is shortlisted, a finalist, or a winner.

For selected entries, we prepare the layout while preserving your words. Your confirmation email includes a link back to this page. Explore editorially selected writing on the wall.

Your story stays yours

You keep copyright. New submissions grant StormIt non-exclusive permission to format and publish on StormIt, including this wall, without a separate approval step. Publication is an editorial decision after successful payment and email confirmation. Earlier entries keep their agreed rules and permissions.

The StormIt team will take care of layout and formatting for entries selected for publication, without changing your words or what your photos show, except that identifying details may be redacted to protect third parties under the Official Rules. Only editorially selected entries are published; not every submission will be published. Publication is separate from award selection and does not mean an entry is shortlisted, a finalist, or a winner.

For formatting or publication concerns, email writeyourstorm@stormit.ca.
