MyPTSD will be releasing an official monthly newsletter early this year. The newsletters first year is about finding what works, what doesn't, and a process of evolution to build a stable, quality PTSD based newsletter.
As some may have noticed, there is now a Link Removed available for members and guests to utilise in submitting content and suggestions for publication. At present we're accepting four (4) types of submissions:
I included the "My Story" because there are many who want to write their story of abuse and PTSD as just that, as short story, as for those who want to publish it quite vastly, whether by name, anonymously or pseudonym, this will allow just that.
At present we're still researching and writing content to have many completed pieces prior to releasing the first, ensuring we have plenty of room for error in relation to available content for future release. Obviously we will shift content around with importance of subject / quality of submitted content and questions.
The submission process is all about you, the member and reader, and if you don't ask for it or share your work with us, then we can't write about it or publish it. Let me say, I would be disappointed to hear anyone complain that they aren't given the opportunity to voice themselves via this newsletter, because we have given you exactly this option via several means.
Don't try and be perfect with submissions, that's why we have editors. Editors will clean it up, modify as necessary, and make your story read amazingly well, without changing the context.
Subscription
To subscribe you must be a confirmed registered member of the community, which means you have registered and completed the email verification process. Members control their preference of receiving the newsletter via their account settings relevant page, being: [DLMURL]https://www.myptsd.com/c/account/br-newsletter-subscribe[/DLMURL].
All members are initially subscribed. Banned members and members who had previously opted out of admin email will be removed, initially, though from here forward the options are different within users account settings.
Rough Outline
Again, this is all in draft mode and a small team of writers and editors are working out the kinks and will refine the system as it develops. I say a small team, because that is what we're starting with. Two editors and a small amount of volunteers who have currently stated they will write content ongoing for the newsletter.
Our initial versions may have more content about certain topics than we would like, all depending on what submissions occur between now and the first release.
Those who want to join as writers, your way in is this... submit your content via our submission process, your finished stories and pieces, and our team will then ask people accordingly based on their overall interest. Many a person says they want to write monthly pieces, to do nothing, which leaves me to remove them from the group. So if you're serious about it, then submit your pieces via our form, tell us you would like to be part of the group, and continue submissions. If you have a regular schedule of valid content and want to be part, then it will be so, providing you continue writing, obviously.
As some may have noticed, there is now a Link Removed available for members and guests to utilise in submitting content and suggestions for publication. At present we're accepting four (4) types of submissions:
- Article - You have written an original PTSD / Supporter related article of approximately 300 - 1000 words, and would like to submit it for publication.
- My Question - You have a PTSD related question that you would like an answer. (50 words or fewer)
- My Story - You have written your story of trauma and PTSD, and would like it published. (no word limit)
- Story Suggestion - You have an interesting topic in which you would like to suggest for a writer to research and publish.
I included the "My Story" because there are many who want to write their story of abuse and PTSD as just that, as short story, as for those who want to publish it quite vastly, whether by name, anonymously or pseudonym, this will allow just that.
