This is the 3rd and final Charity Anthology. The second one has already released and features my short "The Faceless Ones." This one when it comes out will feature some famous authors (I have been asked not release who they are yet) so not only will you be helping a great cause, but you could gain exposure by rubbing shoulders with some bigger names.
Quote:
Here are the rules of submission for Book 3
1 We're looking for fictional stories and we're open to all genres.
No extreme violence or erotica.
(There ARE one or two sample stories from Books 1 & 2 you can read in the Look Inside feature on amazon for a feel of the material.)
2 All stories are to be considered donated works. We deeply appreciate your contribution.
3 We'd appreciate it if you let us use the story for at least six months for the book. Then, if you wish, you can re-submit it elsewhere. If you do you have to let future publishers know it has been previously published.
4 All submitting writers agree that Stella Wilkinson is the editor has final word about stories as well as story order.
5 We'd appreciate it if you have the story edited and polished and ready to go when you submit it to Stella. The stories will be proof read for grammar tweaking purposes only.
6 You are allowed to post a very brief bio, your email and blog and webpage at the end of the story if you wish.
7 1,000 word limit. (It CAN go over by 100 words or so if you need that)
8 It can be an original unsold piece you have sitting in the hard drive or you can write a brand new piece. But it cannot be something you posted for free anywhere in a critique group or on your blog. Amazon has drones that seek these out and they may flag the book.
9 The stories will be featured in an e book and paperback version and possibly an omnibus in 2015.
10 All writers who participated in the first two books are free to submit to Book 3 if they like.
11 All new writers are invited to participate in a Q & A interview that will be featured on my blog www.whatbrickwall.blogspot.com/ . Interviews from books 1 & 2 are already there. You don't HAVE to do the interview but if you do I will send these out in February and they will be placed on the blog a week or three before the book is released to get curiosity going. Maybe even March 1st since all stories should be in by then.
12 All writers are encouraged to promote the books on social media ( tweet/face book/webpage/ blog etc) but be careful when mentioning the charity. We'd appreciate a very brief mention like, The book is a Charity Anthology to raise funds for Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal, A Children's Hospital Charity.But thats it. Best to focus on letting your followers know that you have a story in the book.
13 We're accepting stories Jan 1 thru to Feb 28.
send stories to Stella at her email swilkinsonauthor@gmail.com We expect the book to go live mid March 2014.
I think that's all for now.
