SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
What formats do you accept?
Submissions will be accepted in .doc, .odt or .rtf formats. We suggest you format your manuscript using the guidelines found on William Shunn’s “Proper Manuscript Format” for Short Stories webpage as it will make your story easier to read. Please note that we prefer you to bold your bold and use italics for your italics rather than underlining them.
What do you pay?
We do not pay an advance. Two paperback contributor copies will be posted to the author. We pay 50% net royalty fees (after printing costs and store commissions have been deducted). Payment is made twice a year, with minimum amount required prior to payment being made. International authors will be paid through PayPal only.
Do you have special requirements that I must follow?
Yes, you are required to provide two additional things when submitting your story:
You must provide a one-sentence blurb of up to 25 words (definitely no longer). It must be a statement, questions will not be accepted. Here’s an example on how to write a one-sentence blurb. Alternatively, follow the instructions in Step 1 of the Snowflake Method of Writing a Novel.
You must provide a bio of no more than 100 words. The bio should be written in third person. As it may be used in the publication, please ensure you do not include anything that you do not wish to be used publicly.
Both of these items must be included in the ‘cover letter’ section of the submission process. See below for ‘How to Submit’ instructions.
How do I submit my story for consideration?
