Anthology – The Start

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED

Our first anthology! This is the start of an amazing relationship with a few good authors. It’s the start of our traditional, annual, anthology project.

It’s the start of something riotous, because we are only looking for stories that rock us to the core.

The theme for our first anthology is “The Start”.

We are looking for works that bring a new light to new beginnings. Our first kiss with a twist. Our first unlawful arrest. Our first botched magic spell. Our first political cover up. Our first murder.

Hey, we all have to start somewhere.

What we’re looking for:

All fiction genres
Stories that REBEL in some way
Authentic artists who want to be paid for their work but aren’t in it for the money (We ARE paying, btw)
Super Short Stories (1,500 or less)
Short Stories (1,500 – 10k)

What we’re not looking for:

Non-Fiction. We’re not ready for that quite yet.
Full erotic stories. Heavy petting is cool, but not too many details…
Poetry. We’re planning a full anthology for that. One moment, please!
Anything that can get you or us arrested.
Anything that is legal but will ruin our reputation.


Payment

The publisher will contract for publishing rights. First rights are NOT required but preferred. Authors will receive no royalties for book sales but will receive a semi-pro rate (details here) for the contracting of your work as well as 2 copies of the anthology for personal use upon its release. All payments are made in US currency.

Pay rates are:

Prose: 1.5 cents per word


The Start has been released in 11 bookstores! Find it here: https://books2read.com/TheStartAnthology
