How to do an AMA in r/IAmA

[u/IAmAMods]

Thank you for your interest in r/IamA to host your Reddit AMA (or to host a crosspost of your AMA in another subreddit).  This post outlines the steps to post or crosspost an AMA in this subreddit.  Please read this post in its entirety before messaging the IamA moderators at this link.

Posting an AMA in this subreddit

To post or crosspost an AMA here it is required that your account be approved in advance by the r/IamA moderator team.  We strongly recommend that you reach out to our modmail to start the verification process at least 48 hours before you intend to post your AMA.

We currently offer the five following methods of verification:

1. A Reddit-admin-assigned “Official” account status.
2. A credible website hosting proof of your Reddit account’s authenticity.
3. An email containing your Reddit username from an address with relevant domain (this domain must be either the same as your website or from an email account listed on your site).
4. A post or PM from a verified account on a trusted social media site (primarily Bluesky and YouTube) listing the Reddit username in question and/or linking to the Reddit account.
5. If your Reddit account is vouched for by an account that has been verified with r/IamA through one of the methods listed above, that would also be sufficient.

More information about each of these methods is available in our Wiki.  You can also send us a modmail with any questions.

You can post your AMA up to 24 hours before you intend to start your responses to questions.

We would ask that you use the AMA post type; after your account has been approved, this link will take you to the interface to input your AMA post's title and introduction.

Crossposting an AMA here 

We allow moderators of other subreddits to crosspost AMAs in those subreddits to r/IamA, as well as allowing AMA guests who are verified with the IamA moderator team to do so.

If you are a moderator of the other subreddit in question, simply message our modmail to let us know of the upcoming or in-progress AMA and we will add your account as an approved poster.

If you are the AMA guest and would like to crosspost your own AMA, you have to be verified with the IamA moderator team as outlined in the previous section of this post.

Once your account is approved, simply make a text-based post in IamA using this link Your post should contain the word “crosspost” somewhere in the post title and a direct link to the AMA somewhere in the post introduction.

Having your AMA included on IamA’s AMA calendar

Simply send us a modmail or email to request inclusion on our calendar.  AMAs hosted in this subreddit or others are eligible for calendar inclusion.  If you message us before the AMA takes place, we will include the key details in our ‘month ahead’ roundup series posted by u/AMAcalendar.  Whenever a link to the AMA is live and has been sent to us, we will include it in our ‘month ahead’ and/or ‘month in review’ AMA roundup post series as is appropriate.
