Taking Submissions: Ghosts, Gears, and Grimoires

April 1, 2016

mocha-memoirs-press

Deadline: April 1st 2016
Payment: $10

What We Want: Ghosts, Gears, and Grimoires will be a horror-themed Steampunk anthology of short stories, released as an ebook and as a paperback simultaneously.

We are looking for Steampunk featuring the supernatural (ghosts, shapeshifters, demons, etc.)—as well as a beautifully crafted, original story.

What We Don’t Want: Any stories that contain rape, and/or the abuse of minors. Violence and sex are acceptable but make them integral to the plot.

Submissions: Submit your work to [email protected] with Ghosts, Gears, and Grimoires Sub: Your Story Title_Your Last Name in the subject line. (for example: Ghosts, Gears, and Grimoires Sub: Something Amiss Midship_Poe)

Attach your story as a DOC or DOCX file. Submissions sent in the body of the email will not be read.

We prefer to see submissions using something approaching Standard Manuscript Format, which can be found here: http://www.shunn.net/format/story.html

The only exception is that italics MUST appear as they will be used; no underlining.

Include a brief cover letter in the body of your email stating your name, pen name (if using one), story title with word count, address, website or blog, and any professional publication credits you think might interest us.

We will accept works of 1,500-6,000 words. Please query first if you wish to submit outside of these guidelines.

  • No simultaneous submissions, please. Don’t submit a story to us and to another market at the same
  • time.
  • Multiple submissions are acceptable. If sending more than one story, please send them in separate
  • emails.

We are not accepting reprints for this anthology. We will pay a flat $10 per story via Paypal only.

Payment will be made within 45 days of publication. We are seeking Worldwide English Language rights for 12 months in print and digital formats.

Authors from outside of the United States are welcome, but submissions must be in English. Please be aware that at this time, we have a largely American readership. Feel free to help us expand that base.

Submission Deadline and Publication Schedule:

We will remain open for submissions from January 5-April 1, with an expectation that the anthology will be published by November 1, 2016.

Via: Mocha Memoirs Press.
