| Monstrous Tales - Volume 5 Open date : 02 / 11 / 2022 Submissions between 5000 and 20000 words please Will close when filled Short stories are good for a quick read, but sometimes we want a deeper, more detailed story, which is where these Monstrous Tales anthologies come in. Nothing under 5000 words, and mostly heading for the 20,000 word limit, they are a good way to pass an evening lost in a book. Info from our editor: I'm one of those compulsive writers who have written all their lives. Through school and out the other side, still writing... add in compulsive reading and the result is an editor who can tackle most anything you might need edited at some time in your future. I have taken a copy editing course, but these days I turn editing reading into tuition for the writer, it's a lot easier to see where writers can improve if I work on the stories they send. There's also the option of my writer's handbook, How Many Miles To Babylon? available through fiction4all. I also write books... Terms: I am actively seeking stories over 5000 words, must be horror, must be nasty (or humorous if that's your style) and should be aimed at the subject of this anthology. Payment rates are in the terms document at the top of this page. If you are in my short short anthologies you will get publicity for your writing name. These short story anthologies are popular and fill quickly so you see yourself in print in record time.
So, for this anthology I need stories over 5000 words, no headers or footers, please, this is essential, I can't take them out, limited bad language but ok when appropriate and please don't stomp off into the sunset if I offer advice you don't want to hear. It's up to you if you want to be good enough to be accepted... |
