Hi! I'm interested in applying as a writer, but have a couple of questions I'm hoping you can help with!

Based on the app form, it looks like you're open to a variety of writing formats (ex. poetry, letters, diary entries) in addition to prose, which is exciting! Are there any additional guidelines on how writers should provide samples for these alternative types?

Ex. if someone wanted to apply as a writer with intent to contribute poetry, and also be considered for the NSFW side zine, what would you recommend they include for their samples? Would it be appropriate for writers to include a sample document with 2-3 poems in it as "1" overall sample? Any additional instructions you can provide here would be appreciated.

I'd also like to clarify: in your instructions, you state that applicants should provide 3-5 best narrative fic samples - but in the form itself, there are only 3 places to include sample links. Should writers include 2 prose samples in one document, or is it recommended to only submit 3 samples?

I would also like to note that in the "Samples and Portfolio" section of the form, at the bottom of the instructions where it says "You can read more about our guidelines on our carrd here" - this link doesn't appear to be working.

Thank you!

Hello and thank you for your interest in applying for Redamancy! We have added guidelines for alternative forms of writing on the form, fixed the carrd link, and added up to 5 samples for pieces of writing. We would recommend to include each poem as separate sample and, if you are interested in also contributing to the NSFW side zine, to provide a NSFW sample as well. We hope this helped and can’t wait to enjoy reading your application!
