Taking Submissions: Ghost Story Short Story Competition

August 1, 2013

Deadline: August 1st 2013
Payment: Winners will split the profits of the collection evenly.

Calling all writers: Announcing the start of Dark Hall’s first short story competition! Now through August 1st (2013) we will be accepting short Ghost stories for possible inclusion in a late summer anthology. Ten slots are available, and the contest will be highly competitive.

The base concept for these stories is ghostly happenings, but this is open for broad interpretation, and there are no rules for where you take your story.
Submissions should be no longer than 4,000 words, submitted in PDF format, and include a brief author bio and contact information. Please include the word GHOST in the e-mail heading.
We cannot accept previously published material.
Winners will split the profits of the collection evenly.
Winners will be contacted after August 1st.

In submitting work for consideration we ask that writers include the first chapter/section of their project, a brief (one page) synopsis of the overall work, and some background information on themselves.
PDF format preferred. Note that we will not entertain simultaneous submissions.
Response time is generally one week.

Direct all submissions to: [email protected]
