Submit.as is now in open beta! And we’re looking for anyone who wants to try it out and give us feedback (more on that below).
Today it’s pretty simple; it lets you:
- Create submission prompts associated with any of your blogs, which then show up on submit.as/yourblog – e.g. https://submit.as/writeas
- Gather a name, email address, and writing submission from anyone – no sign-up required on the submitter’s part. (Try it out here.)
- Get an email notification whenever you receive a new post, so you can review it.
- See the current review status of submissions you’ve received.
- Approve a post to mark it as such and publish it to your associated blog, with the submitter’s name included.
- Reject a post to mark it as such.
Next, we want to support:
- Multiple admins / reviewers
- An approval process with more control, so you can e.g. schedule the accepted post for a future date, edit it before publishing, or do something else with it besides publishing to your blog
- Publishing to third-party services like Ghost, Tumblr, and Twitter upon approval
- Publishing to any WriteFreely instance upon approval
We’re now looking for feedback from the Write.as community. While we’ve priced Submit.as for larger publications and organizations, we’re also offering it at a steep discount to individual users and small publications – especially in these early days, while we’re looking to quickly improve it based on user feedback.
If you’re interested in trying it out today and telling us more about your use case and any feedback you have along the way, let us know and we’ll get you set up!
