Submissions
To enter, send an
e-mail with your story as an attachment to Entries@OnThePremises.com.
1. In the BODY of the e-mail, tell us the name of your story, and
give us all your contact information. This e-mail should also
contain language to the effect that your story is an original,
unpublished work and that, as far as you know, you have not
committed plagiarism. Here’s a template you can download and
use for the body of your e-mail.
2. The story itself MUST be an attachment saved in plain text
format (.txt), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or Microsoft Word (.doc)
format.
No .wps files, please! Your attachment should
contain only the story’s title, the story itself, and an
ending marker like [end]. Do not put
personally identifying information (your name, e-mail address,
etc.) in the attachment.

REMINDER:
All communication
regarding your entry will come from Entries@OnThePremises.com. Make
certain your e-mail account does not block that
address! Some people are telling
us our messages are getting blocked as spam. That’s a problem
with the receiver’s e-mail settings, not
ours.

3. An entry can be
written by more than one person. However, one person must act as
the official representative of that entry, and On The
Premises will communicate
only
with that
representative. If a multi-person team wins a prize, we will send
payment to the representative, and the team must decide how to
divide the money.
4. On The
Premises deletes all stories
that it receives and does not publish. We also delete the original
e-mails after a contest is over. We DO NOT share e-mail addresses
(or your fiction) with any other
organization.
