These opportunities are open to members and non-members of the Writers of Kern.

Submission guidelines:
Send your 50-word story and your name as you wish it to appear, in an email with the subject “Back to School” to: Newsletter@writersofkern.com
The best of the submissions will appear in the newsletter for September and all submissions will appear on the Writers of Kern Blog. Stay tuned for next month’s Write NOW assignment and keep those pens and pencils ready!
If you attended the July meeting, you may remember completing a survey about the genres you write in (or are interested in writing in) and also the workshop topics that most interest you. Here are the results of the survey.

We are seeking short story submissions (1000-7500 words) for this anthology. The stories must be based upon a regional/cultural legend or tall tale from any location or culture in the World. “Regional” can be a specific place (Loch Ness) or a larger region (Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest).
We are seeking
stories in the horror genre. Inclusion of elements of other genres is welcome,
so long as, overall, the story is an horror story. The subject of the story can
be based on any legend, so long as it has a horrific flavor. Ghosts, hauntings,
alien abductions, monsters, demons, spirits, witches, etc, all are acceptable,
as long as the subject is based on an actual legend or tall tale.
Submissions are open between 1 August and 19 September 2019.
