| What
kind of stories should I write? |
| |
We want stories by real people about living in
the Lehigh Valley. When folks come to town, what do you tell
them? Tell us about the people and places that mean something
to you. Tell us why you love living here. |
| What
if I'm not a good writer? |
| |
This isn't a magazine. It's not a literary contest. Storymill
is about giving an honest voice to real people, which means
you! Don't worry about spelling. Don't worry about grammar.
We don't want it professional. Write like you're sending a letter
to a friend. |
| Will
someone ask me for money? |
| |
Lehigh Valley Storymill is completely non-commercial. It's
a cooperative publicity campaign aimed at increasing exposure
for local non-profits. |
| Someone's
making money. What's the catch? |
| |
It's as simple as it sounds. When people read
about the Storymill Partners, they'll be more likely to visit
and volunteer their time. |
| Do
you get the copyright to my stories? |
| |
No, you own your words. You can use your stories for any purpose.
If you sell it to a magazine that wants exclusive rights, we'll
remove it. |
| Do you reject any stories? |
| |
While we won't reject stories based on quality, we do reserve
the right to reject stories that are 1) for adults
only, 2) mostly about politics or ideology, 3)
the work of someone else, 4) unrelated to
the Lehigh Valley. |
| Who
should I contact if I have more questions? |

If you need to talk with a real person, call the folks
at Immuexa during business hours at 610-797-3100.
|
| What
is Immuexa? |
| |
Immuexa Corporation makes custom-built software and websites. Located in the Lehigh Valley, they made the Storymill website and the
software underneath it. They also host and maintain the site.
|
|
What's in it for them? |
| |
Immuexa will someday make money from the software, not the site
itself. Storymill (the underlying software) is a commercial product, but
the Lehigh Valley Storymill (the website) will remain non-commercial.
|
|
Okay, so why are you really doing this? |
| |
We're doing this because the Storymill Partners
have enriched our lives. They're our reason we love the Lehigh
Valley.
What's yours? |
