Great, Sophie. I've added you as a writer. I am now back from my holidays so will be checking for submissions every day, in theory, and normally publish the same or next day.

Are you familiar with the 'boosting' mechanic yet? Iberospherical is in the pilot programme, so anything published here can be nominated if i feel it's of the content and quality that has a good chance of being selected. As the process can take a day or two (normally much quicker), in the case of nominated pieces I will schedule for 2-3 days later to give time to get an answer.

One other important thing is to make sure all photos are copyright-free (e.g. Unsplash or Wikimedia) or your own work, as with your boy and goat photo. It's worth putting 'Photo by author' or 'All photos by author' in the caption just for clarity's sake.

Let me know if you have any queries about the publication process - I look forward to your stories when you have time.

¡Bienvenida a bordo!
