Best New Zombie Tales 4 AND 5 Deadline: September 15th 2011 Payment: Authors receive 1¢ per word, plus one contributor copy of the book. The wait is finally over. The submission period for BEST NEW ZOMBIE TALES (Vol. 4 & 5) has finally arrived. (If you have already been accepted for volume 4, you are still accepted! We just have a few holes to fill...) Here are the guidelines: BEST NEW ZOMBIE TALES (Vol. 4 & 5) Reading Period: Submission period starts now and ends September 15th 2011. Word Count: Between 2,000 - 10,000 words. Stories longer than 10,000 words will be accepted, but will be a hard sell. A maximum of two stories can be submitted. What we want: This is a reprint anthology. Zombie stories only. If your story does not have a zombie (or more than one zombie) in it, then it is not right for this anthology. We are looking for the best of the bunch. The year your story was released does not matter; whether or not it was previously released does. We do not want unpublished stories unless you have either: A) Sold us a story before. Or - B) Can honestly say that you have sold more than 5,000 books in your writing career (books means novels, not stories tucked inside other anthologies). If you have sold more than 5,000 books, send it in, and let us know that it is an original story. What we don’t want: Writers that ignore the guidelines, and stories that have appeared on personal websites, blogs, etc. This anthology is for stories that have been sold to a publisher. Stories with high amounts of sexual content will not be accepted. Something to consider: The stories do not have to be horror, but Books of the Dead is...
