Anthology Contest - 09/19/07 02:54 PM
This one's a little wacky. The title is:
Sex in the Cemetery...and Other Bible Stories
Terms & Conditions
• Payment: $200 Grand Prize awarded to one story per volume; $100 (each) all other stories published in book, plus a complimentary copy of the book, upon publication. Authors retain the copyright to their original work. There is no submission fee.
• Contest Deadline: November 1, 2007 dcstanfa@fuse.net
• Story Length: 750-2,500 words
• Point of View: First-person or third-person (no second person).
• Style: Narrative nonfiction, creative nonfiction. But, it must be a story. The theme of this anthology is relationships. Think men, women, and messy meanderings. Essays will be considered, but the Author must have a story to tell, not just an opinion. PG-13
• Tone: Stories must be humorous. They can be poignant and touching, but above all, they need to be humorous. Irreverence is a plus, as is the uniqueness of the tale.
• Stories must be original, true (license to exaggerate greatly, but essentially true).
• Previously published material is acceptable, as long as the Author retains the copyright.
• A publishing agreement will be mailed to the Author of each story selected as a finalist.
• Due to the volume of submissions anticipated, we cannot report on the status of individual submissions (with the exception of finalists, who are notified in writing). The grand-prize winning story and the list of contributors will be posted on the Editors’ websites (www.susanreinhardt.com and www.dcstanfa.com ) upon publication.
• Authors may submit multiple stories.
