Word count (aproximate is fine)

Story details- Include a list of phonetic pronunciation of unusual names or words. Include any details you think I might need to know when narrating your story. Also, if your pen name is unusual or unique please let me know the correct pronunciation. When in doubt, assume I won't know it. You won't offend me.

Story Tagline- (Optional) I use this when promoting the video, not necesarily in it.

About You- Tell me what you would like me to include when promoting you. This will be spoken aloud at the end of the story as well as typed below in the description. Website? Published works? Current projects? Accomplishments? Writing style? Things like that. Whatever you like, this is your promo. Feel free to get creative! Go ahead and include links. You can script your own, or leave it up to me. NOTE: These will be read in third person.

Other- (Optional) Anything else you would like to tell me? Requests? Use this area to ask or say anything.

How did you hear about Tall Tale TV? (OPTIONAL)

Story- Please copy-paste your entire story in this field. Please type 'END' at the end of the story so that I will know if evil internet gremlins ate the tail end of it.

Word Doc- Please submit a word document containing your story. I review stories in the email, but I need a word document to narrate from, otherwise, I lose all your formatting. Supported file types are .odt, .doc, .rtf and .txt

Any images you provide MUST be copyright free, or you have permission from the artist. If attribution is required, inform me and I will include it in the video. People don't mess around with this, they will force me to take it down if I don't have permission. I reserve the right to choose not to use a provided image, but in most cases, it's not an issue. I will inform you if I have any problems with an image. If you would prefer you may include a link in the 'Other' field, or email it to me later rather than attaching a file here, as sometimes they are too large for this form to handle.

Background Image- (Optional) Image to use as the background and thumbnail for the story. This is completely optional. Unless it is a high quality image that works well with the dimensions I need, I will likely find my own. Please do not take offense if I do not use it. File formats can be .jpg .gif or .png

Promo Images- (Optional) Images to use in the author spotlight section. These can be of you, a logo, book covers, and so on. File formats can be .jpg .gif or .png

You should receive an automated confirmation shortly. If you do not, that means it did not send. If I don't respond within a few weeks, it may have gone into my spam folder. If you are having issues or just want to check in, feel free to contact me using the Contact Form. You can also try accessing this page through a different browser.

If after pressing 'Send' the screen jumps upward, yet the fields are still filled out, that means either a required field wasn't completed or an attached file was too large. If you are sending large files, it might take a minute to upload, the page just sits there while this is taking place.

Thank you!
