It’s your interview your way. Presenting you the way you want to be seen. You choose the questions, the format(s), and the perfect time to post. Simply send us what you want to include, and we’ll add the finishing touches.
The format is extremely flexible: a spotlight can take the form of a video, audio, text, photos, any combination, or almost anything else you can think of.
Have any form of bio, press release, press kit, trailer, music video, footage, headshots or crowdfunding campaign landing page? You’re already partway there!
We do ask that you try to keep you entire Spotlight to no more than 15 minutes total (including viewing, listening and reading times); longer spotlights may result in a delay in posting. If possible, please host your own audio and video and provide us with the links (hosting space doesn’t grow on trees but it costs a lot of dead ones). We do reserve the right to reject submissions or request changes (but will only do so if absolutely necessary).
Unless a specific date or time is requested, Spotlights will be posted at our earliest convenience. You will be notified once your Spotlight has been scheduled for posting, and again after it goes live. Every Spotlight will get our standard post promotion: a share to our Facebook and Twitter when it goes up and another share to our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram later the same day with all of the requisite tags and hashtags to help it reach your audience.
Submit your completed spotlight to stickwiththeindies@gmail.com.
