FAQs

Please withdraw the current submission and Submit it afresh.

Content in A Billion Stories is reviewed by editors before publication. It usually takes about 2 weeks for a reviewer to take a look and come to a decision. If there are errors or edits, it can take more time. The Work can also be returned to you for resubmission after the suggested corrections are made. To help with faster decision making, ensure you have followed the Submission Guidelines. Based on such issues and other editorial issues, it could take longer. However, we have noticed that once you are familiar with the process, it is quick. Your first time, could hence be a longer wait, but the experience of having it published is very satisfying.

If it is a drawing/painting/cartoon/annular art, a clear high quality image, preferably using a scanner is good enough.

Sorry to hear that. We reserve our right to give no reason for the non-acceptance. There can be many reasons for this. Please follow our Submission Guidelines to avoid rejections. The most common reason for this is when:

1. The submission is not in the right script. So, if you are submitting a Hindi language work, ensure to type it in the Hindi script. We do not accept it if it is typed up using English. Example: "Hamaare Nanhe Kadam" would get rejected, whereas, "हमारे नन्हे कदम" would get accepted. Same with other languages.

2. If it was a drawing/photo, it might not be good quality. Please ensure to upload good quality photos.
