Manuscript Submissions | Policy: There are two sides to every story...

A Call for Submissions... of the Faery Taile Kynde!
CatsCurious Press will open to submissions starting January 1, 2008 for all well-written, humorous fairy tale re-tellings! But there's a catch -- these stories must be written from ONE POV only... the protagonist's.
Why would we be so strict, you ask? Because Jim C. Hines, author of 'Goblin Quest', 'Golblin War' and 'Goblin Hero' has already gotten on board to write a counterpoint story! That's right -- once I have plowed my way through the slush, Jim will review my favorite stories and then choose ONE from among them to write a counterpoint to.
The end result will be a double-sided book with two covers (one featuring artwork for Jim's story, the other featuring artwork to coincide with the protagonist's point of view). Stories will be printed upside-down from one another -- flip the book over, and start fresh from the top!
Here are the requirements:
We prefer well-known Faery Tailes
Story length must be between 5000 and 10,000 words
Stories must be single POV, from the protagonist's point of view
Stories must be humorous
Stories must appeal to a broad range of folks -- from twelve years old to adult (so no raunchy humor, please!)
Submission period: January 1st, 2008 to midnight March 31st, 2008
Purchasing First North American Print Rights (USA, Canada, Phillipines & Puerto Rico) with limited electronic rights, exclusive for one year.
The payment? $.05 per word (up to $500 maximum) & sharing a cover with Jim C. Hines!
Email Submissions ONLY in .rtf or .doc, standard Manuscript format with italics (instead of underlines, please!) to [email protected] with a subject of 'SUBMISSION: My Title' |
