Call for submissions: Time in a Bottle anthology
© Dora Pete
The concept of time has always intrigued writers, and now you can indulge your curiosity over this intangible element by writing a story for the Time in a Bottle anthology.
The main stipulation is that time was figure prominently in the story. For example, the story could be about time travel, or about people or things that have been displaced to a time other than their own, or about someone who’s time is running out, perhaps from a deadly disease or poison.
Stories that explore parallel events in time, the nature of time or in some other way are centered around time will all fit in this anthology.
The story must also fit in one of the following genres: Hard Science Fiction, Soft Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Space Western. The genres can be mixed with each other if desired, but stories that fall outside of these will not be considered. The only exception would be minor elements: a fantasy could have some horror elements as long as they weren’t so heavy as to turn the story into a Horror or Horror/Fantasy mix.
Stories may be set in any time period from prehistory to the far future, and the word count must be between 3,000 and 6,500. Stories that are too short or too long will be sent back to the author to revise and resubmit.
Please send submissions as an attached .doc or .rtf file to: timeantho@gmail.com before May 1st 2009.
Authors whose work is accepted will be offered the standard CWP anthology contract. Those terms are: $10 flat fee to acquire the right to publish, one free copy of the book and a five-year, non-exclusive contract for print format, paperback.
In addition, you can as many copies as you like for the base cost of printing and shipping, and keep the profit from any copies you sell.
