Short Story Details Form - fromhearttopage.com

Info:

Please fill out this form with as much detail as you can remember (especially conversations!).

We estimate the delivery period to be 10-15 days without any edit sessions, but this can vary based on the story you provide and any of your additional customisations. We will drop you an email for a more specific delivery time once we review your submission.

Please enter the same email here as in checkout so we can link your orders. You can save as draft for up to 5 days.

Guiding Questions:

We would appreciate if your story could include the answers to the following:

What actually happened? List the chronological events of the story as you remember them and how you felt in those moments.
Who are the main characters? How did they contribute? Family/Friends? Give details about these characters that enrich the plot.
What about this story do you want to preserve? The wholesome moments, the teaching moments or something else?
Where is it set? Some unique landscape like a holiday place? Describe the world around you.

PLEASE NOTE:

Short stories do not contain chapters. They flow freely from start to finish and are much shorter than novellas. We recommend them for recording one special milestone or event. Please be sure of these details before filling the form.
