How to submit
Everything you need before you send your piece over — the process, the rules, how we credit you, and the questions everyone asks.
The process
Send it over
Submit your writing as per the Guidelines in PDF or Google Doc format.
We review
WIUI will review your writing and contact you through email if we decide to publish your submission.
Edits, maybe
We will mention if the draft requires editing and adjustments.
It goes up
Once it's done, we will inform you when it will be posted.
Writing guidelines
- The length of your submission should not exceed 9 paragraphs, with each paragraph containing a maximum of 150 words.
- Keep in mind that each paragraph will be turned into one slide, and write your submission with this in mind.
- Don't forget to title your submission! This will be used as the content to slide one.
- We accept 🔥hot takes🔥 in your opinion pieces, but you are still encouraged to back your opinions with reliable citations and data.
- Please list your sources as a bibliography at the end of your writing. Do NOT footnote!
- Your submission needs to be written as an individual, not as a representative of an organization.
Topics guidelines
- Topics should be written from your own Point of View (POV), and it can be written in the first person's POV or third person's POV.
- You can choose any topic related to Indonesia's social, political, economical, or cultural issues.
- Although we will post specific topics periodically on our Instagram story, feel free to write about other topics.
