One of the reasons readers love Radish so much is because of the wide variety of content we offer. From high-heat romance to science fiction, we've got it all. If your work tends toward darker content, it's best to give readers a heads up and use content warnings to let them know a story or episode(s) includes heavy subject matter.

 

Stories that include any of the following require a content warning:

  • Animal cruelty or animal death
  • Child Abuse*
  • Dark Themes (including bullying, kidnapping, intense violence)
  • Dubious Consent*
  • Domestic Abuse
  • Addiction/Substance Abuse
  • Eating Disorder (ED)*
  • Pregnancy Trauma* 
  • Mental Illness
  • Self-Harm*
  • Sexual Trauma (this includes previous instances of sexual assault, rape, grooming, harassment)*
  • Suicide*

*Topics with an asterisk should be included in the summary of the story and the author's note of the prior episode. 

For summaries, include the message, “CONTENT WARNING (CW): This story may include scenes or depictions of—.” 

The message in the author’s note should mention, “PLEASE NOTE: Sensitive content ahead. For more information, please refer to the story summary.”
