Taking Submissions: Trash Tales
Deadline: December 31st, 2024
Payment: Contributor’s copy
Theme: The stories must be ‘trashy’ in some way (ideas below.)
Deadline for submissions: midnight, 31 December 2024
We are excited to invite submissions for a new anthology of trashy fiction – TRASH TALES – due to be published in August 2025!
All profits (after expenses) will be donated to literacy charities in the UK and US.
The full submission guidelines are available below.
The collection will be produced by me (CriminOlly) and Alex from micro press Kilter and Rammel. Check out Kilter and Rammel’s site here.
We’re looking for short story submissions, no longer than 5000 words and previously unpublished. It can be in any category or genre you like, as long as it’s what we might all consider of a trashy nature!
Some ideas (this list is non-exhaustive):
- Naughty nurses and sexy shifters: spicy or sweet category romance
- One man armies: men’s adventure
- The Wild, and sometimes Weird West: westerns
- Trashy Tales of Terror : cheesy horror fiction featuring creepy kids, killer animals, mutants and monsters, etc.
- Science Fiction Shenanigans: Alien invaders, technology gone haywire
- Crime, Pulp, That Sort of Thing: Gritty detective fiction, real world or with an added twist of the supernatural/paranormal/occult
- Mystery-solving Moggies: Cosy crime involving animals, baked goods and such like
- Level Up: LitRPG (Literary Roleplaying Game) stories.
So get thinking up those trashy stories, and we look forward to seeing what you’ve got for us to read!
