Get Featured on Short Story Lovers

Boost your Author Brand and Story for increased Views and Subscribers by featuring your story

What is a Featured Story?

A Featured Story on Short Story Lovers is a spotlight opportunity for authors to showcase their stories to a wider audience. When a story is featured, it is displayed prominently on the homepage and its category page for 7 days, increasing its visibility and attracting more readers.

To have a story featured, authors must first publish their story on the platform and then submit it for consideration. Our editorial team carefully reviews each submission to ensure it meets the criteria for showcasing. If selected, the story is highlighted to thousands of readers, making it an ideal way to gain recognition and build subscriber base.

Important Note:

As we have limited slots for publishing stories on the homepage, please note that not all stories may be approved for getting Featured. Our editors have specific criteria for selection. In the case of non-approval, your money will be refunded as credits that can be used for submitting revised or any new story.
