Taking Submissions: Attack Of The 50 Ft Book
Attack Of The 50 Ft Book DAMN STRAIGHT! From Godzilla to Stay Puft, Cthulhu to the Iron Giant, giant monsters have been portrayed as everything from saviours of mankind to the ultimate destructors, and even tragic, misunderstood figures. Now we're asking YOU to send us your best giant monster stories! Reference points: Godzilla / King Kong / Lovecraft / Deep Rising / Night of the Crabs / Steve Niles' Giant Monster/ Kingdom of the Ants / The Relic / You get the idea... Giant robots are more than welcome, but remember this is coming out under the Fantasy imprint so your best bet is to avoid using spaceships/aliens/distant planets. Sword n Sorcery/High Fantasy is of course also welcome, but try to avoid obvious staples of those genres. WORD COUNT: A firm 3K - 7K PAYMENT: 1cent p/word + 1 contributor copy DEADLINE: 1st March 2011 (so plenty of time to submit something ) FORMAT: Times New Roman or Courier 12pt font, please. One press of the TAB to indent a new paragraph. Double-spaced. Italics should be italics NOT underlined, please. NO headers or footers except on first page . Please, please don't use any fancy formatting as it drives me absolutely nuts (eg extra space between paragraphs, coloured “attention-grabbing” fonts, etc). OTHER STUFF: NO multiple subs. NO reprints. Simultaneous submissions are a-okay with me, provided you do me the courtesy of telling me if it gets accepted elsewhere. Send all submissions to [email protected] and I’ll send you a needlessly exuberant ‘Story received!!!’ email. If you don’t get one within 4 days of submitting, please query. Please don’t query as to the status of your story until after the deadline, because if there’s one thing guaranteed to crumble my biscuits it’s impatient little monkeys ;) Having said that, I’m going to...
Taking Submissions: Through The Worm Hole
Through The Worm Hole Editors : Wayne Goodchild &Bill Tucker We want your most gnarly, whacked-out and downright mondo science fiction stories. We want you to really cut loose and give us scenarios we've never seen before. We don't want to see any obvious staples like 'people answer a distress call to find a spaceship drifting empty through space...or is it?!' or 'a new friendly alien race turn out to be evil' or anything like that. Be fresh, be creative, be utterly mental. We're also not after bizarre - but you are encouraged to take your story as far as it can go before it actually becomes that genre (i.e. surreal, but still grounded in reality). Other than that, the usual genres are welcome, and stories can be set anywhere or anywhen, provided it's fundamentally science fiction. Word limit: a very firm 4K - 7K words Payment: 1 cent p/word + 1 contributor copy NO reprints NO multiple submissions Simultaneous submissions are okay, but please do us the courtesy of letting us know if your story gets accepted elsewhere. Format: Put name/by-line, approx word count, postal address and email address at the top of the first page. NO headers on any other pages, please. Indent by 1 press of the TAB key to start a new paragraph. NO fancy formatting. Sometimes people have their writing software set up so it adds extra space between lines and/or paragraphs. Please remove anything like this, as it's really annoying. Thank you! Other than this, usual Shunn manuscript rules apply. Send submissions to [email protected] Deadline is March 1st 2011
