We do NOT accept snail mail. Please put “Undead Tales 2” in the subject of the e-mail and give a word count in the e-mail itself, even if the story also has it listed. Our reading time is usually 10-12 weeks NO multiple submissions, NO exceptions. Reprints accepted. Payment info We pay $3.00* for each story accepted via PayPal. That’s it. We are a brand new eBook-only publisher looking to get the name out there and get some quality releases under our belts without making the mistake of so many other small-press publishers and overdoing it in the beginning. We pay everyone once the anthology has been officially filled and proofed. If this is acceptable, kindly submit to us. * Our eBooks will generally sell for $2.99… we offer the $3.00 flat rate, but an author can earn royalties after each 150 eBooks sold as follows: ~ 1-149 eBooks sold = $3.00 flat advance ~ 150-300 eBooks sold = an additional $3.00 per author ~ 301-450 eBooks sold = an additional $3.00 per author ~ 451-600 eBooks sold = You get the idea… ADDITIONALLY, we will be publishing a PRINT version as well, and for every print book sold it will count towards THREE sales to reach each 150 level [email protected]
Taking Submissions: Substitution Cipher
Substitution Cipher Deadline: January 15th, 2012 Payment: $75 and two contributor copies Candlemark and Gleam is proud to announce an anthology of Alternate History: Substitution Cipher, a collection of tales of deceit, betrayal, and espionage, in worlds that could have been our own. Sun Tsu said: “The end and aim of espionage in all its five forms is knowledge of the enemy; this knowledge can only be derived from the double agent.” The crucial knowledge a spy obtains can change the course of history; or show, through a dark mirror, the shape our own world could have taken. We invite authors to submit completed original stories of between 6,000 and 20,000 words, in any genre appropriate to espionage: psychological or action thrillers, war stories, dystopias, and picaresques are equally valid submissions. All stories must take place on an alternate Earth, and the changed timeline must have some bearing on the plot of the story. Any historical time period and geographical area is acceptable, from the invention of war up to the present day. Original stories are preferred. Please query for reprints. No simultaneous submissions please. For multiple submissions, please query first. Submissions open: October 17, 2011 Submissions close: January 15, 2012 Anticipated publication date: July 2012 Electronic submissions only. Please send your story as an RTF or DOC attachment to kaye.chazan gmail com, with the subject line: SUBMISSION: Title of Story. Please ensure your story file includes your contact details, including postal address and email address. Please submit only final, proofread copy. Payment will be a flat $75 and two contributor copies of the print book (the anthology will be published in both print and digital form). There will be a bonus payment when/if the anthology sells 1,000 copies in print.
