⚡ Tell Us a Story, Friend
Every voice carries a story — and the right story can light up the world.
At Liberty Electro, we celebrate creators who dare to be bold and imaginative. We publish their stories, essays, and comics — and recognize each chosen work with a cash award.
Because creativity thrives when bold ideas are rewarded — that’s the spark that keeps Liberty Electro alive.
🧠 What Counts as a “Story”?
Pretty much anything that expresses an idea or emotion — seriously.
- A writer chasing an idea that won’t leave you alone,
- An illustrator who wants your sketch to say what words can’t,
- A filmmaker or musician capturing a feeling, or
- A meme-maker distilling a truth into a single spark
We accept:
- Short stories, essays, or poems
- Comics, drawings, and visual art
- Photography, short videos, or audio pieces
- Experiments, mashups, or anything that tells a story in its own way
We’re not picky about genre or medium — we’re looking for imagination, honesty, and energy.
🎭 Artist Personas
At Liberty Electro, stories live through Artist Personas — a way to organize our stories by genre so readers can find the kinds of stories that interest them most. Each piece is published under the persona that best captures its spirit.
A few examples:
- Medicinal Herb — Medicine, healing, meditation, therapies, spiritual breakthroughs
- Martian Mary — Sci-fi, paranormal, tall tales, mystery, horror, suspense, conspiracy
- Jefferson’s Violin — History, economics, politics, religion, rights, law, government, bureaucracy
- Homemade Lemonade — Marriage, parenting, family life, pets, office life, the daily grind
Each persona represents a current in the creative flow — and together, they form the living pulse of Liberty Electro.

💰 How the Awards Work
Every published story earns a cash award — and as our community of members grows, so will the size of those awards. The more people who join Liberty Electro, the more power we have to reward great storytelling.
Each month, a portion of every paid membership goes directly into the story award fund — so every new member helps amplify the value of creative voices across the site.
We offer two types of awards based on your membership level:
- SPSA — Subscriber Published Story Award: For Subscriber-level members (free to join). Subscribers can submit stories and earn cash awards when published.
- CPSA — Contributor Published Story Award: For Contributor-level members and above. Contributors support Liberty Electro with a monthly or yearly membership and receive higher award amounts for their published stories.
Award values rise as Liberty Electro grows. The current SPSA and CPSA amounts are always displayed at the top of our homepage.
