NOTE FOR 2013 ANTHOLOGIES: Since so many people are at least a bit superstitious about the number “13,” and we’re going to be stuck with it for a whole year, let’s have some fun with it. By adding the word “Lucky” to our 2013 titles, our writers can add an element of “luck” into their stories. Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?

We are totally serious about this Style Book thing. We are so serious that if you won’t read our Style Book, we won’t read your story. How do we know that you read our Style Book? Because there is a SECRET WORD — actually, two of themm — in the Style Book. Put the Secret Word(s) in your submission letter and we will read your story with intent interest.

Before submitting make sure to read the Guidelines!
