Is Online Story Hub free to read?
Public stories are currently free to read. If memberships or paid editions are introduced, free and paid features will be explained clearly.
Can new writers submit?
Yes. Publication history is not required. Read the guidelines, revise the work, and send the strongest version you can.
Do writers keep copyright?
Yes. Submission does not transfer copyright. Accepted work will have publication terms confirmed in writing.
Are simultaneous submissions allowed?
They may be allowed when disclosed. If another publication accepts the story, notify us promptly so we can withdraw it from review.
Does paying for editing improve acceptance?
No. Editorial services are separate from publication decisions and never guarantee acceptance.
Can I republish a story from this site?
Not without permission from the relevant rights holder. You may share the page link and make limited lawful quotations with attribution.
How can I report an error or rights problem?
Use the Contact page, provide the exact URL, identify the passage, and explain the requested action.
Why are some genre pages empty?
Because we do not invent stories or contributors to make the site look busy. Shelves will fill as real work is accepted and published.
