Deadline: January 1st 2016
Payment: 6 cents a word
Reprints Allowed but must query first

ChappyFiction LLC is now accepting submissions to its new science fiction/fantasy anthology on Time Travel (title pending).

The anthology will contain new short stories centered around time travel. How does it affect our society, our humanity, or the characters? We want new stories. Create paradoxes. Make us laugh. Make us cry. If you have a killer reprint, query us first before submitting.

Length:

We prefer stories under 7,000 words. We will look at stories over that, but the longer the story is, the better it has to be. We want to include many authors, so shorter stories will have the edge.

Format:

We’re not picky. However, standard MS format will communicate to us that you’re professional. Pink text on a black background will make our eyes bleed. In a bad way. Send over a doc or docx attached to your email. In the body of your email, write a quick, short cover letter. List sales. Don’t summarize your story. Put the word count and your contact info somewhere in the cover letter. In the subject line put “Submission: (title of your story)”. Send email to chappyfiction at gmail.com. UPDATE: We will close the submission period on January 1st 2016. Our response times will vary but if you don’t hear anything by February of 2016, please query.

UPDATE! We accept simultaneous submissions.

Payment:

6 cents a word. That’s pro rates! Word! Upon acceptance, you’ll receive an industry standard contract (6 months exclusivity, with the exception to year’s best anthologies).

What not to do:

Do not submit stories that don’t contain Time Travel! It’ll be a waste of your time and our time. And you’ll be black listed from future Chappy Fiction anthologies!
