Snippet Publishing Guidelines

What makes a Snippet great? 

Snippet's short, beautiful and engaging format is a joyful experience for readers. So, when we publish a title into the store, we have a few guidelines to ensure that each Snippet utilizes the strengths of the platform. Although not hardened rules, these measures can help our writers create the best experience possible. On a case-by-case basis, we look for these characteristics: 


  1. Compelling Content
    Whether telling a story, unpacking an idea, or sharing expertise, Snippet content should be passionate, thoughtful, and engaging. Snippet is a place for content that shapes, challenges, and changes the world.

  2. Proofed Text
    Snippet is a place for quality writing. Text should use proper grammar and spelling. Text should have a coherent, elegant flow and structure.

  3. Styled Text
    Snippet is a beautiful reading experience. Text should utilize the basic formatting options like h1, h2, bold, italic, and blockquote to create a beautifully-styled reading experience.

  4. Visually Stunning Graphics
    Snippet graphics (cover, TOC header, chapter cover, and chapter header) should be well-designed and properly sized. This not only contributes to the reading experience but keeps our store beautiful and helps draw people to your Snippet.

  5. Engaging and Interactive
    Snippet is more than just a book. Snippets should include discoverables. Engage readers throughout the text using different kinds of media: photos, video, audio, and social media. This makes Snippet a place for readers to interact and get more out of the reading experience.
