Send us something you made

Bossfeed publishes a poem, a haiku and a writing prompt every day, alongside a shelf of small games. This is where the rest of it could come from you.

Poetry Including haiku, since the site publishes one every day and there is a ready home for it. Story or essay Short fiction, flash, essays. The kind of thing that sits well between two puzzles. Something book-length A novella, a novel, a collection. Longer than a text box wants to hold. A choice-based story Branching narrative, the choose-your-own-adventure shape. Twine and Ink are welcome. A game you made Small browser games and playable experiments, in the spirit of the arcade shelf. A guest post Writing about creative work rather than the work itself: a review, or something you can teach. Request a Spark Suggest a question for Today's Sparks: light, kind, and fun to answer in under a minute.

How would you rate it?

G Anyone PG Mild PG-13 Some edge

We publish up to PG-13. Nothing R-rated or above, ever, because it is an all-ages site.

You may also consider this for one of the printed puzzle collections. We would email you first. Required. This is my own work. I keep the copyright, and I am giving Final Boss Games permission to publish it here and to consider it for a printed collection. It may be edited for length and clarity.

A person reads everything. You will hear back within 4 months.

The things everybody asks

Does it cost anything?

No. There is no reading fee. You do not need an account either.

How long until I hear back?

Within 4 months. A person reads every one, and you will get an answer either way.

Who keeps the rights?

You do. You keep your copyright. You are giving us permission to publish the piece here, and to ask you about including it in a printed collection later. You can publish it elsewhere too.

Will I be paid?

Not at the moment. What you get is a byline, a link to your own work, and a readership. If a piece is chosen for a printed collection we will email you about that separately, before anything is printed.

Can I send something published elsewhere?

For poetry, stories and games, yes, just mention it. For guest posts we would like the piece to be original.

What will you not publish?

We publish up to PG-13. Nothing R-rated or above.

How old do I need to be?

You must be 13 or older to send us something. If you are 13 to 17, ask a parent or guardian first. If you are under 13, please don’t send your work or your email address.
