Sharing a personal experience can feel like a significant step. We want you to understand what happens to your words, who reviews them and when you will be asked to make a decision.
Your first submission stays private
The story form asks for a pen name, a private email address, a topic and your own account of the experience. Your submission goes to a restricted review area. It does not automatically become a public post.
Our team reviews the material
An editor considers privacy, safety and suitability for Soulnova. They may suggest removing details that identify children, family members or other people. They may also suggest edits for clarity. A submission may be declined.
You review the exact version
If the team proposes publication, you receive a private review link by email. The page shows the title, pen name, category and edited story together. You can read everything before choosing what happens next.
| Your choice | What happens next |
|---|---|
| Approve the exact version | The editor can publish that approved version under your pen name. |
| Ask for changes | Your request goes back to the editor. This version is not approved for publication. |
| Decline publication | This version is not published. |
Approval belongs to one version
Your approval applies to the exact material shown on the review page. If the proposed words change, another approval is needed. The review link expires after seven days and can be used for one decision.
Can I request a correction or removal later?
Yes. Use the Contact page, choose the relevant request type and include a link to your story. Keep the first message brief and avoid sending sensitive documents.
A note about privacy
Your email is used to communicate with you and is not shown with your published story. Please read our privacy information before submitting. Soulnova is not an emergency service or a substitute for professional advice.
