Vocal Creator Chat: 8/22/2023

Have questions about creating stories, growing your audience, and getting rewarded on Vocal? The Vocal community and team are here to help answer your questions and feedback together.

Every other Tuesday at 12 PM ET, we'll assemble the Vocal community, as well as our Creator Experience and Product teams, in a thread to respond to creator inquiries for one hour.

Please follow Vocal’s Community Guidelines and don’t spam your own profile or stories in the thread. We encourage the community to report users or comments that break these guidelines.

Some updates and reminders from the Vocal team:

• We implemented new protocols to proactively prevent the publication of spam and enhance the quality of content in the Latest Stories section. We appreciate your patience and hope you have seen an improvement. We are continuously refining our processes to combat unattributed AI and spam.
• We released a guide to writing a first chapter for our Next Great [American] Novel Challenge.
• There are 39 days left to enter the Vocal Writing Awards.

Got questions about Vocal or feedback about what’s new? Leave a comment in this thread to join the Vocal Creator Chat.

Also, be sure to join our Raise Your Voice Threads every other Thursday at 12PM ET to champion inspiring stories and outstanding creators on Vocal. Save it to your calendar so you don’t miss it.
