Everything Writers Need | Writers of Kern
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.
If you’d rather see these in a document, click here for the .pdf version of these graphs.
War Monkey Publications, LLC
is pleased to announce open submissions for our upcoming anthology:
FROM THE YONDER
A horror, short-story collection of regional legends and tall-tales from around the World.
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.
Submission info will be posted on our website: https://warmonkeypublications.com/submissions
