Taking Submissions: Halloween Night

February 28, 2015

hocuspocus

Deadline: February 28th, 2015
Payment: $20
Note #1: This isn’t a full on horror anthology. More of a kid’s and young adult Halloween one. But.. Halloween!
Note #2: I usually don’t post anthologies that I had missed with deadlines this close but I know quite a few with Halloween stories that might want to take advantage of this if the story fits the theme.

Halloween is over… But it doesn’t have to be!

We are doing an open call for submissions for stories that involve trick-or-treating on Halloween night.

Your story may be any genre, but the overall feel and mood of the anthology is macabre and spooky.

Submissions can be middle grade or young adult age range. Please do not submit adult work or works best for picture books.
