1. Make sure you include complete contact information for yourself and everyone mentioned by name in your story. KOM must have a phone number to get permission from every person mentioned by name in your feature story in order to publish your story on our website. All sources will be vigorously checked for accuracy. By submitting a story and photo, you agree to these terms.

2. Although, hunting yarns are as old as the hills. Our website is not the place for such stories. Only true stories will be considered for publication on our website. Please refrain from submitting fiction. By submitting a story and photo, you agree to these terms.

3. Stories about people are more interesting than stories about animals. Make sure that your story gives our readers insight into the person the story is about not just the animal they are hunting. Revealing what that person feels and thinks as they are hunting is a good way to make your story more interesting.

4. Although KOM will have many hunting stories as features, we also hope to have some biographical features about hunters and outfitters. These types of stories may not include anything other than insight into who a person is or what they do for a living. There are a lot of really great people in the hunting world whose lives make interesting reading even when they are not hunting. If you know a person like this, feel free to write about them.

5. KOM reserves the right to edit the copy or accompanying art of any feature story or art submitted, without prior notice or permission of the original author. By submitting a story and photo, you agree to these terms.

6. Feature stories and art submitted for publication on King of the Mountain’s website must be the intellectual property of the person submitting said material at the time of submission. Persons submitting said material to King of the Mountain agree that they are the sole intellectual owner of material submitted for publication. Persons submitting said materials accept sole financial and legal responsibility for any and all legal action or awards thereof as a result of misrepresentation of ownership of submitted materials, whether knowingly or unknowingly, at the time of submission. By submitting a story and photo, you agree to these terms.

(In simple terms, only submit stories you personally have written/own and photos you personally have taken/own. If you steal another person/company’s story or photo and attempt to pass it off as your own for publication on King of the Mountain’s website, you are breaking the law. If you break the law in this manner, you accept all responsibility for any criminal or legal consequences those actions bring. In short, don’t steal stories or photos and then give them to King of the Mountain for publication. If you do break the law in this manner, you agree to pay for all of King of the Mountain’s legal fees when we are sued. If King of the Mountain gets sued because of something you illegally submitted to us, when we lose in court, you agree to pay whatever the judge awards the person you stole from.)

7. King of the Mountain reserves all first-print rights of any stories submitted for publication on our website. Submitting a story relieves the author of first-print rights. By submitting you agree to these terms. (This means KOM gets to say we printed your story first) Don’t submit stories that have already been published somewhere else.
