Modesto Writers Group Anthology Submission Guidelines

MODESTO ANTHOLOGY SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

SUBMISSION LENGTH:

Entries must be works of prose, up to 7,000 words in length.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

All genres acceptable, except for dark and erotica. (We want to keep our anthology at a rating of PG-13 or less.)


WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR:

Slash and hack, blood and gore for their own sake. Graphic rape, torture, child abuse, and animal torture may have their place somewhere, but not here.

ORIGINAL WORK:

Please no plagiarized works.

HOW TO SUBMIT:

Submissions must be sent as an attached document in Microsoft Word (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Email submission to: modestoanthology@gmail.com. Please include your title and name in the subject line of your email (this will help us keep track of each submission). Proper manuscript format with headers and page numbers is appreciated, but not necessary. You can visit www.shunn.net/format/story.html for an example or email us at anytime for assistance.


DEADLINE:

Deadline is suspended. Go ahead and submit.


QUESTIONS:

Please email any questions about this anthology to: Mary Merrell at mary_merrell@sbcglobal.net or Doug C. Souza at souzacow@gmail.com.

We look forward to reading your stories and will work hard to keep you posted on any developments. You can join the Modesto Meetup Writers Group at http://www.meetup.com/writers-427 for more information about having your work edited prior to submission. Thank you for taking the time to consider our publication for your story. Our goal is to provide both a print and electronic version of the anthology.
