🌞 Rules💦


♡ This jam is for eBooks specifically. Comics and other written material are also acceptable, but this jam is not intended for game submissions including visual novels.

♡ Original works only, please do not submit fanfiction

♡ Submitted works can be any length, from short stories to full novels. There are no word count minimums or maximums.

♡ This jam officially runs from June 1st to August 31st, submissions must be created during this time. You can outline, plan, character create or draft however you need to prior to the summer but the final product should be made during this time period. This isn’t something I will be strict about but it’s more fun if you play along, it’s supposed to be a challenge.

♡ There are no genre or content requirements outside of the theme. All submissions will be accepted, as long as they do not violate the itch.io terms of service, are your own original work, and fit the theme, but we do ask that you properly tag your work with content warnings.

♡ Absolutely no AI may be used for any part of your work. I will know, and I will be a nightmare about it.

♡ You MUST credit anyone who worked on your book with you in the front matter, including cover artist and editor. Ideally these would also be listed on your project page.

Further information and guidelines can be found on the jam section of this website or by going to the jam page on itch.io
