Call for Submissions: Masquerade Anthologies
What we're looking for: short stories based on the prompt "masquerade." Stories should be between 15,000 and 20,000 words, should fall under the romance category (as opposed to erotica), and must stand alone. Happy endings are preferred, although hopeful endings will be considered. We're publishing two anthologies, one male/female and one male/male. The theme "masquerade" is flexible, but please feel free to contact us if you want to run an idea past us to make sure it fits the requirement.
We're also looking for two front covers on the masquerade theme.
Please take a look at the information on the website that goes into more detail about what we're trying to do and what we will and won't publish, including genres.
If this is something that you want to be a part of (and we think it's going to be a lot of fun), here are some ground rules:
- No advance.
- All authors in each anthology will split the author royalties evenly between them (pro rata by final word count) and receive one print and two ebook contributor copies.
- All editing will be done via email and IM
- Royalty payments will be made electronically via PayPal in US dollars, unless other arrangements need to be made.
- Finished story deadline: November 30, 2009. Accepted stories will be chosen by December 15, 2009.
If you have any questions, or would like more information (about our contracts or anything else), please feel free to email us. All submissions should follow DFP's submission guidelines.
