FEATURES SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Our Features section is where we publish in-depth, narrative-driven stories about the organizations, initiatives, and established creators who are shaping the literary landscape. This is a curated space for high-quality, sponsored content that provides genuine value to our audience of dedicated readers and writers.

What We Feature

We specialize in creating compelling narratives around:

  • Independent Presses & Bookstores: Launching a new catalog? Celebrating a milestone? We tell your story.
  • Writing Programs & Residencies: Showcase your unique approach, faculty, and community impact.
  • Literary Non-Profits & Organizations: Highlight your mission, your events, and your contribution to the culture.
  • Author Campaigns: For established authors with a new major work, we create a featured profile that goes beyond a standard interview.
  • Writers’ Tools & Services: Introduce your innovative product to a community that will appreciate it.

We do not feature: Unpublished individual seeking exposure. (For that, see our Interview or Magazine guidelines).

Our Process: How It Works

1. Inquiry & Conversation
You contact us via email theliterarytimesmag@gmail.com. We schedule a brief call to discuss your goals, your story, and ensure it’s a natural fit for our audience.

2. Crafting the Narrative
Our editorial team takes the reins. We research and write a high-quality, engaging feature article, maintaining full creative control to ensure it meets our editorial standards and resonates with our readers. This is not an advertisement you write; it’s a story we tell.

3. Publication & Promotion
The finished feature is published prominently in our Features section and actively promoted across our website and social media channels, delivering it directly to our engaged community.

Transparency Note: All sponsored features are clearly labeled as “Partner Content” to maintain the trust and respect of our readers.
