Spider Road Press invites submissions of unpublished short stories of no more than 8,000 words with strong female characters to “Eve’s Requiem: Five Tales of Women, Crime and Horror.” This anthology will be published by Spider Road Press in late 2014. Men and women are welcome to submit. We are looking for literary, intense stories in which women actively face dangerous situations. We seek tales in which the plot strengthens the characterization. Any use of violence should be integral to the story (no gore). Writers will only be invited to submit one story each. Submissions will be accepted March 1- April 30. Contributors will be paid $20 and 2 free books. 5% of the proceeds from this anthology will be donated to charity. Simultaneous submissions are fine. (We regret that we cannot consider reprints, Science Fiction, YA fiction or prose poems. Please do not submit stories involving vampires or werewolves.) Please be aware that it could take us up to three months to respond to your submission. We look forward to reading your fiction! Beginning on 3/1/14, writers can submit via Submittable Here. .
