Indie Authors Press is on the prowl for your best Halloween drabbles! Werewolves, vampires, ghosts, fairies, djinns, goblins, trolls, witches, brownies, banshees; beings that are not of this world–or maybe they are.
We love Halloween, and we love stories about spooky goings-on. I’m a publisher. So why not combine our love for both and publish an anthology in October 2014 with stories that involve Halloween in one way or another?
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
We are looking for exceptionally well written stories BUT they can be spooky, ooky, silly, whatever, just as long as they’re Halloweeny. The stories can be romantic, humorous, enthralling, spooky or from the other side.
ALL GENRES ACCEPTED – DO YOU HAVE A STORY THAT IS A MISHMASH OF GENRES AND HAS A SPOOKY FEEL TO IT? WE WANT IT!
ALL SUBMISSIONS SHOULD:
Word Count: 100 words –not including the title or byline — 100 words EXACTLY!
Be typed in Courier or Times New Roman 12 Be typed in line with Standard Manuscript Format. Details can be found at www.shunn.net/format/story.htmlInclude your full details (name/address/telephone number/email address).
All drabbles must be saved as in .doc format and emailed to submissions@salgado-reyes.com.
Your email subject header should read SURNAME/TITLE — SPOOKY HALLOWEEN DRABBLES 2014
Please submit only one story at a time pending upon approval. Any more than this and all stories will be rejected without consideration.
We are not looking for stories that include excessive racism, abuse, or political and/or religious proselytizing. We also will not be accepting any fan fiction. And keep it PG-13! Please indicate prior publication history, if any.
PAYMENT:
There isn’t any. This is for the love, for the glory, and for the easy Amazon Author Page credit! Heck, we’re only using any and all profits from this venture to secure more ISBNs for more future projects…
DEADLINE: The deadline to receive submissions is September 30, 2014. It may take our editors about one week to review your submission; then we’ll get back to you.
The anthology will be edited by Roy C. Booth and Jorge Salgado-Reyes. The editors have sole discretion regarding which submissions will be included in the anthology, their decision is final. Please do not resubmit a rejected submission as it will be rejected unseen without further consideration. We are looking forward to receiving your drabbles!
