Frequently Asked Questions

Publishing (Writers Den Press and Journal)

01

Can I put my work in other places? 

As the copyright holder of  the original work, you have a great deal of flexibility after the issue is published. We only have the right to archive, which means you can distribute your work in numerous places. Depending on other journals, you can even submit it elsewhere and share it on your blog. The choice is yours. 
If you choose to submit to the press, we will have the rights to publish. However, we will discuss how the royalties are divided. This means you can explore other projects and opportunities, but we will have the publication rights. You can rest assured that we will have a clear and fair discussion about the division of royalties. 

02

What rights do you need? 

We only need the rights to archive and publish for the journal. 
We need the rights to publish and print your work for the press. 
You retain the copyright to your work. 

03

Why did you reject my work? 

Rejections of your work are not based on you as a writer and do not determine your worth as a creative. We stress that writing is rejected based on its suitability for the journal 
If you want to submit something, we advise you to do it as soon as you feel your submission is ready, as the 'shape' of the journal tends to be decided on the first few issues.
Regarding press rejections, this, again, is not personal. Publishing, as every industry does, goes through seasons. We encourage you to resubmit later, as when seasons change, your work might be right for us then. 

04

What if my question hasn't been answered, what do I do? 

If you do, then please do not fret about emailing in with the header Question: [insert question]. In the body of the email please expand on this, otherwise it will to into our junk mail folder and we will not see it. If you don't want to email in, then please contact the relevant social media channels. 

Education Questions

01

What About Assessment? ​

Students are encouraged to create a document with all the relevant course materials and will be set weekly writing development tasks to complete, which will be assessed. 

02

I’ve got a course idea! Where can I recomend it?

Students can suggest the course to staff members or fill out a contact form. If students want to teach a session, this may be facilitated. 

03

What about Payment?

Whilst some courses are paid, there are payment plans (through subscriptions) which users can sign up to, which will help spread the cost of their learning.

What about progression?

Please see the Progression guide, which is included in the course booklet on the courses page. 

05

I need additional accommodations to access the course(s) you offer. Where do I go/who do I contact? 

Students are encouraged to contact the course tutor specifically. In most cases, this is E. J. Kingdom (otherwise known as Eri) who will do their best to ensure your requests are met.

There are no expectations to maintain eye contact or use the microphone function for extended periods. The chat will always be available for students to use, and subtitles will be available, along with recordings of lectures available for students, too.
