Taking Submissions: Krampusnacht Two
Deadline: August 15, 2016 Payment: $10 and a contributor's copy Anthologist: Kate Wolford Krampus, Santa's dark companion, is in the spotlight these days. Thousands of people across the globe celebrate Krampusnacht on December 5th of each year. And the movie, Krampus, was a hit during the 2015 holiday season. Krampusnacht: Twelve Nights of Krampus, which I anthologized and World Weaver Press published, was a hit as well. So, World Weaver Press and Enchanted Conversation are publishing another volume. For now, it's just called Krampusnacht Two. Remember, Krampus is the "corrective" to Saint Nick or Santa's indulgence and generosity. He carries a switch and chains, and sometimes throws very rotten children in a basket he carries on his back. He has horns, hooves, and a creepy, long tongue. He's horrible and fascinating at the same time. You can learn a lot about him from this site , and you should read Krampusnacht: Twelve Nights of Krampus as well, to see what we like. But we are interested in new, fresh stories, not retreads of what we have already published. We’re looking for short stories that explore every possible Krampus angle. He’s a nasty old dude, and we hope your imaginations will get the better of you. Now for the fine print. Rights and compensation: Payment: $10 and paperback copy of the anthology. We are looking for previously unpublished works in English. We are seeking first world rights in English and exclusive right to publish in print and electronic format for six months after publication date, after which publisher retains non-exclusive right to continue to publish for life of the anthology. Open submission period: May 15 - Aug. 15, 2016. (Please do not send stories before May 15!) Length: 1,000 to 10,000 words. Submission method: Email cover letter and story to enchantedconversation gmail com...
Taking Submissions: ‘Men in Black’ General Horror Anthology
Deadline: August 15, 2016 Payment: Contributor's Copy Note: Sorry about the short notice on this one, just hit my inbox. We’ve learned a lot while creating our first book “Asylum of the Ancient Ones” is that it takes a long time to collect submissions. This time around, we are working on multiple books at once. It sounds kind of crazy, but it makes sense to us. We are looking for both short stories and artwork. Guidelines for Submissions: All work must be original. All submissions must be horror of some kind. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, witches, etc…classic horror stuff. No limit on how many stories or how much art you can send in, as many as you want. You can send both art and stories. If the artwork goes with the story, all the better, but it doesn’t have to. No limit on story length, as long as it’s a well-developed story. Focus on content, not length. Artwork can be any medium, as long as the content is horror. Artwork must be in JPEG format, please get all the image in the picture without cutting anything off. Stories must be double-spaced, have paragraphs, and one space between sentences. All stories should be spell checked and grammar checked prior to being sent in. Some minor mistakes are expected, but if the document has too many, it will be rejected. All submissions must include Name, address, and an optional short bio, along with any websites you’d like people to visit. All submissions must be sent to [email protected], with “Horror Submission” in the subject. All submissions must include a release form for all submissions. We have one for art and one for stories. If you have multiple submissions, you can do one for all art and one for all stories if there is enough space. Here...
