Your image sourcing is incomplete. You credit the photographer of the royalty-free images but fail to provide URL links to the images on the royalty-free sites for verification. Before we can consider upvoting your content you need to provide links to the web pages on those sites where the image is located together with the name of the photographer. You can do this by clicking on the image required and it will take you to the dedicated image page with accreditation.

We accept two kinds of short stories in The Ink Well: fictional stories and creative nonfiction stories.

You can find some great articles on fiction story writing in our catalog of fiction writing tips.

All good fiction has at the very least a good hook, a balanced story (balanced between narrative, action, and dialogue), a conflict and resolution, a good story arc, and character development.

You can find information about what we are looking for in creative nonfiction stories in this post.

And please be sure to engage in the community by reading and commenting on the work of other community members. We ask everyone who post in The Ink Well to read and comment on at least two other stories for each one published.

Again, welcome!

Thank you for your guidance I apologize for any inconvenience caused @theinkwell
I've added the url to the images and I will make sure to go through the guidelines for writing fictional stories.
