Submissions

GamingLives operates with an open invitation to all aspiring gaming writers to submit their articles, features and reviews with a view to having them published on the site.  Every submission will be given full consideration and successful applicants will be notified within 24 hours of receipt, to take the process further and discuss imagery and layout.  Before proceeding, it is important to understand the following…

  • Submitting will not automatically make you a writer for GamingLives, although this is clearly a distinct possibility for the future.
  • Your submissions will remain your OWN intellectual property at all times, and GamingLives will not assume ownership for itself under any circumstances.
  • Your work will carry your own by-line and will not be used by any GamingLives writer in whole or part.
  • You have the freedom to publish your work elsewhere even while it is being displayed on the GamingLives website – there is no exclusivity assumed.
  • Your work may be edited for fluidity, but you will be given prior notification and the opportunity to give your approval prior to publishing.
  • There is no payment for any articles published – the site is 100% voluntary
  • The work submitted is 100% your own and does not contain any plagiarised material

It is our preference that articles be a minimum of 750 words long but we understand that this may not always be possible, depending on the subject matter.  We would much rather have enjoyable and passionate content than ask you to pad out your work in order to meet our quota but please do not feel that you have to keep your articles unnecessarily short either.

With that in mind, if you would like to submit any article, feature or review to us then please email us at submissions@gaminglives.com with your article in an attachment such as MS Word or Rich Text format.  It’s not necessary to include images as this will be discussed in due course.   For your own peace of mind, it would be recommended that you also CC someone else when sending your submission to us so that you have proof of the content being sent.  This will protect you from any plagiarism claims, as you will have proof of when you sent the article and the content will remain attached to the copied recipient’s email.  Ultimately, we want to ensure that you feel comfortable submitting your work to GamingLives.

We look forward to hearing from you
