Soul Kitchen — A Publication
Submission Guidelines, Section Overview, and How to Join
Welcome to Soul Kitchen
In the chaos of the modern internet, curation has become more important than ever.
Readers don't want to endlessly browse to find content they crave. They long for a few good places where they know that certain quality standards are met.
As writers, we know how hard it is to get our stories published and to be exposed to an audience that actually wants to read our work.
Soul Kitchen was founded to let thriving authors shine and to expose them to the audience they deserve.
Of course, we still need some rules and guidelines to avoid confusion. Please find them below. Hope to welcome you soon to our community.

Fresh Stories:
You can submit story drafts and already published stories to Soul Kitchen. In case of the latter, make sure they are not older than two days.
Word Count:
200 to 2,000 words is ideal, but don’t feel restricted. Share your story, however long or short it may need to be.
Original Content Only:
Please submit only original, AI-free content. We'll use tools to check for that.
Reader Experience:
Make sure your story is easy to read on mobile devices. All stories must include a title, a subtitle, and a decent thumbnail image (choose landscape aspect ratio) with a caption and ALT text. Also, make sure your story is spell- and grammar-checked.
Community and Connection:
Soul Kitchen is a community. Collaboration and a welcoming atmosphere where writers engage and support each other are very important to us.
Further Rules
Soul Kitchen focuses on high-quality stories to give our readers the best experience. For this, we use the number of reads as a quality metric.
If a story fails to meet the minimum criteria of 10 reads after a ramp-up period, it will be removed from the publication. Writers who consistently fail to meet this minimum requirement will no longer be able to publish with Soul Kitchen.
Any writer who tries to spam Soul Kitchen or makes heavy use of AI will be instantly blocked from the publication.
Yes, that's hard words. The past has taught me that such rules are necessary (for my peace of mind and clarity on your side).
