The proposed projects must not have been the subject of any editing or audiovisual production (except self-publishing and self-production by the author himself). They refer only to original texts, the author of which holds the rights, available for publication and production. These texts must obviously present stories in a dramatic form, as a novel, play, script, tale, comic book, album…
Composition of projects
Each story is based on
- a title,
- a hook of a few lines,
- a representative picture.
These elements appear in the overall presentation of the projects in the Showcase.
- a synopsis of a few pages in case of click.
- a statement of intent attached as a file (PDF). This letter, appreciated by publishing and production professionals, outlines the reasons for this writing, its origin, what gave birth to it, its cultural interest and how its dissemination could be of interest to a certain audience.
These four points (title, pitch, synopsis, note) are of course to work precisely in advance of their publication on this site. The care taken in their development will help to motivate the reader’s interest and better capture the attention of professionals. Think that this time of synthesis will never be useless to you. It will allow you to distance yourself from your text and, if necessary, to make amendments that are often judicious.
It is possible to provide a link to a dedicated website or a non-institutional publication (Calameo, Wattpad, Youscribe... ) where an excerpt or the full text can be consulted. However, be careful to protect the text against copying if the link provided leads to a downloadable PDF file !

Publication
Work your text out of publication. Unpublished projects are archived on your account ("Pending" tab) and can be edited at any time.
Give a name to your page (in the form; /title _my_history), in the "URL alias" tab. This will appear in the navigation address and the words will be recognized by the search engines.
When you are satisfied and nothing is missing, publish your story by clicking on the "Publish" tab. .
A receipt is sent to you in the form of plain text, email to be kept carefully. To make it readable, copy the text of the message into a text editor (kate, blocnote...) and save it in . html (e.g.: my_story.html). Then double-click on it .
Please unpublish and remove your project from the site as soon as it is edited or put into production. The showcase is reserved for original works not distributed.
