SEEDS Library Content Creation Handbook

SEEDS Guardians are caretakers of the stories and content that is distributed publicly to allow readers to connect with the SEEDS Regenerative Renaissance, and to better understand the game of SEEDS and Seedenomics, the regenerative economy of Seeds.

Through storytelling, readers are informed and  inspired by the people, the networks, the SEEDS alliances, organizations and projects to more effectively generate and distribute value towards the whole system.  SEEDS stories are by the people of SEEDS and told for the people of the Planet. Articles and digital media are curated by Content Guardians to ensure clarity and consistency of the SEEDS purpose and mission. The SEEDS Library, using the WordPress platform, is open to all and therefore is curated by a group of Guardians working within the SEEDS collective.

To submit articles and other media (photos, audio, graphics, illustrations, video) for public viewing, contributors may create an online personal profile for use in creating and managing their submissions.  Content Guardians review and consider all for publication based on a set of content guidelines. A checklist to help storytellers meet these guidelines is included in this  Content Creation Guide.

SEEDS Library Contributors/Storytellers Guidelines & Process

This is a dynamic storyteller process guide. Content Guardians may revise these guidelines to optimize editorial workflows.

The SEEDS purpose is “To help drive the development and adoption of new economic, ecological and social ecosystems that foster the conditions for humanity, nature and the planet to flourish.”

SEEDS contributors who submit articles about approved SEEDS Alliances receive remuneration in Seeds when their article is accepted and published.

Content Submission Process

  1. To submit articles and/or digital media for the SEEDS library, you will need to create a SEEDS Library Contributor Profile on the SEEDS Library at https://seedslibrary.com/personal-dashboard/
  2. Post media and designate it as a “draft”. As a contributor you should include an email with the name of the alliance, organization if not affiliated with SEEDS, or your SEEDS circle affiliation and role if applicable.
  3. A Content Guardian will review, edit and publish the final piece but may contact you for more information.
  4. Articles and media may be rejected if they do not meet the guidelines or are missing crucial information.
  5. Guardians will publish articles when they are finalized. The contributor will not be notified when the article is published, so be sure to check the library often.
  6. Once your content is created it needs to be approved/edited by the Content Guardians (editors) before being published online. Written articles can be uploaded directly to the WordPress site and videos need to be uploaded first to Youtube.
  7. Once you have uploaded your content to the WordPress backend as a draft then a Guardian of the Galaxy will review and send comments for editing or will approve the article to be posted to the Library.
  8. By using the SEEDS library to create stories, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Service for SEEDS. Please read them in advance of posting.
  9. By using our services, including various website, email notification, applications, buttons and other services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these terms below (the “Terms”)
