General Submission Rules
Pretty much anything that tells a story that’s important to you. Night Flight is designed to be a creative outlet, a platform for people to share experiences and insights. At Night Flight, we believe everyone has a story to tell and the talent to tell it. Have you always wanted to try writing a science fiction story? Go for it. Have a poignant personal experience you’ve always wanted to share? Send it in! Don’t be afraid to tell your tale and don’t underestimate the power of storytelling to educate, to unite, and to change lives! Pornography or graphic sexual content won’t be considered. Explicit language in the context of larger stories is ok, so long as it’s not gratuitous. The topics are wide open. Maybe it’s someone talking about their military service and discussing the difficulties of dealing with deployment, or maybe it’s a single parent vlogging about trying to better their life by earning Embry-Riddle degree, or perhaps it’s an instructor who wants to let others know about an amazing student or colleague they’re working with. Whatever the story, Night Flight is the perfect outlet for sharing it and, in many cases, it can help turn a negative or difficult experience into a positive lesson for others. If you have concerns about the submission terms for, please contact the editors.
