Submission Guidelines
These are just guidelines: We welcome all new ideas, and we welcome you to our community!
- The story should focus on an interaction between the main character (or self), and another person in a travel environment.
- Riding Up Front tends to utilize a “confessional” taxi or ride-share (Uber/Lyft) driving environment, so stories of that nature are especially welcome.
- We actively promote diversity, so we look out especially for stories that involve interaction between people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
- All writing styles are welcome! Poems, free verse, 1st person, 2nd person third person, biographical etc.
- If possible, please keep your submission under 1000 words.

Paula Vrinceanu
Paula Vrinceanu: "I am a Romanian visual artist working in this field for about 10 years now. Before this, I was a pianist: my life has always been an interesting and creative journey. I still play the piano when I have time, but now I'm focusing on visual art. I work in an advertising agency in Cluj, and at night- for few hours ( because, unfortunately, I need to sleep), I freelance and work on my own art business which I've started this year."
