1. no pay - We are an all volunteer website, we cannot compensate you for your story.

2. it's yours - This must be something that you have written or to which you have the authority to reproduce.

3. it's evergreen - The story will remain on our website indefinitely. This means that the story should not have an "expiration date" where the information is no longer useful to our readers after a particular date.

4. it's meaty - The story should at least be 750 words. If it's longer, much longer, we should talk about breaking it into a series!

5. it's colorful - If you have accompanying illustrations, to which you have copyright or the authority to reproduce, be sure to include these as well!

6. we'll change it - You'll want to submit something to us that is already publication quality (correct grammar, spelling, etc.). We may make edits to the title, content, illustrations, etc. - If you re-publish the version of your story that we edited anywhere else, add a note at the bottom "edited by virtualitalia.com - the resource for enthusiasts of italian culture"
