To submit, please use our ONLINE SUBMISSIONS MANAGER. Our standard writer’s guidelines apply. In your submission cover letter, please include the title of the story, the word count, list of collaborating authors, and a brief bio (third person) to be printed in the back of the anthology if selected for publication.

We are now accepting submissions for PSYCHO CINEMA!

We’re looking for HORROR stories with a strong CINEMA theme… this can be interpreted by the author in any way that connects the short fiction to the movies, as long as there are strong elements of horror. Things like: horror at the movie theater, horror on a movie set, horror featuring a horror film actor (fiction only, please; let’s not kill off real actors), horror at a drive-in theater, etc. As long as HORROR and HORROR MOVIES are present, the story will be considered.

About the contest…

Editor’s Choice Award (Jessy Marie Roberts): $100.00
The Editor’s Choice Award will be picked by the editor/compiler of the anthology; decision will be at her sole discretion

Contributor’s Choice Award: $50.00
The Contributor’s Choice Award will be picked by the contributing authors of the anthology. When the anthology is compiled, copyedited and typeset, we will send out an interior
proof to the authors to check their stories for last minute copyediting/formatting errors. At this time, contributing authors have the option to read through the other stories and vote for their favorite story. Authors can’t vote for their own story, and each contributing author can only vote once. No contributing author is required to vote, but all authors who do are entered into a “consolation drawing” for a free copy of the anthology.

Contributor’s Runner-Up Award: $15.00
Awarded to the runner-up of the Contributor’s Choice Award.

Consolation Drawing:
Every contributing author who casts a vote for the Contributor’s Choice Award will be entered into a drawing for a free copy of the anthology. We will draw THREE names at random upon publication and mail out a free copy of COURAGE THROUGH DETERMINATION to the winning authors.

ALL OTHER SELECTED STORIES WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE ANTHOLOGY FOR EXPOSURE ONLY. NO PAYMENT, NO CONTRIBUTOR’S COPY.

***If the same story is selected for the Editor’s Choice Award and the Contributor’s Choice Award, the winning story will receive The Editor’s Choice Award prize ONLY; The second highest votes in the Contributor’s Choice Award will win the Contributor’s Choice Award, and the third highest votes will receive the Contributor’s Runner-Up Award.***
