Calls for subs!
May. 1st, 2014 11:30 pmTime for another one of these, I think. There are a few that have caught my attention over the past few days, and here they are in no particular order.
Horror Novel Reviews is holding a contest. The topic is open, so long as your story does not exceed 4000 words and contains elements of the macbre, horror, or SF. Deadline on this one is May 10, so get cracking if you want in. Payment is $50 and two copies of the antho.
The Baen Fantasy Award closes on June 30. They're looking for under 8,000-word adventure fantasy in any fantasy subgenre. Grand prize winner will be published on the Baen website, paid industry-standard professional rates, and will receive a package of Baen books as well.
Dark Regions Press is looking for stories in the 10,000-18,000 word range for their "I Am the Abyss" anthology. They want horror or dark fantasy stories about a character dying and going to the underworld, whatever that is. This one closes Oct. 1. Payment is five cents a word, plus a copy of the antho, plus royalties, plus a print of the spread that artist Les Edwards will create of your version of the underworld.
Cohesion Press is looking for stories of under 5,000 words for their "Blurring the Line" anthology. The submission window for this one is August 1-October 31, so you've got some time. They're looking for fiction that blurs the line between what's real and what's not. Payment is AUD.08/word.
As always, read the guidelines carefully. Some of these want the story formatted a particular way, or anonymized, so pay attention to that.
Now. Go forth and write!
