Your submissions
are invited
For our next themed anthology
This year’s theme:
Ghouls and Ghosties and things that go Bump in the Night
- Submissions are invited for an Anthology supernatural themed poems, short stories and essays for a book to be published in conjunction with a themed event in March 2012. Entries should be received by 31st December 2011 and entries and should be accompanied by £5.00 which will entitle each contributor to one copy of the book. Additional early copies will be available at a discount on the retail price depending on the number of contributions included.
- Poems: Up to three poems per submission to a maximum of three pages bearing in mind each poem will start on a new page. (Assume 40 lines per page). Bear in mind that ‘less is more’ and that longer poems will have to work very hard to be included.
- Prose: Up to 1500 words
- Theme: Any supernatural theme, but please bear in mind that if there are too many poems and stories that are the same, we will be obliged to reject some of them. The editors are looking for the subtle and nuanced.
- Line Drawings: Line drawings illustrating any of the submissions or of any railway artifact will be welcomed: please note that firm lines show up better in print.
- Biographies: Provide the biography text you would like to be used in the Anthology.
- History: Please include the publishing history of any previously published material. This should include the Title, Publisher, and where applicable, Volume, Number Edition and Year.
- All entries must be in electronic form, preferably a word doc (not docx) or in the case of images, jpeg or tiff, and can be emailed to yorkspokenword@yahoo.co.uk. Please mail fees of £5.00 (made out to Stairwell Books) per contributor (or £6.00 if you need the book mailed) to Stairwell Books, 161 Lowther Street, York, YO31 7LZ.
- Artwork must be accompanied by a statement asserting ownership of the copyright and where necessary a signed original statement from the copyright holder giving permission for the image to be published.
