Bridges - a Prints Charming Anthology

​WHAT IS IT?
BRIDGES is a shared venture project for authors, coordinated by Sally Odgers of Affordable Manuscript Assessments and Workshops.
The goal is to write an anthology of stories and poems for older children and teens in which a bridge (real or metaphorical) plays a major part.

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully, especially if you are new to Prints Charming anthologies. To claim a slot, send a message to sodgers(AT)iinet.net.au with BRIDGES in the subject line.

1. The stories should be short- mostly under 5000 words, although a few longer ones would be okay. They may be fantasy or not... Genre is open, but characters should be accessible to readers in the upper tweens and lower to mid teens. Crossover is fine as long as the subject and treatment are not overtly adult. Some poems and artwork will also be considered, though the artwork should be black and white or greyscale.

2. No payment will be made for the stories, but each author will have a puff page to use as she or he pleases. These should be sent in with the stories. They can be updated if necessary before we go to press. 

4. Authors will also have the right (but not the obligation) to buy copies of the anthology at cost. These can be resold, given away, awarded as prizes or used as author credits on a CV.  All authors will be given a PDF copy of the anthology.

5. Stories will be professionally edited.

6. Click on the links Anthology Submission Formatting and Puff Page samples to see how work should be formatted. 

7. Copyright in each story will belong to the author. The edited version will belong to the author. Prints Charming Books will use each story only in this anthology. The authors may use their own stories elsewhere as and when they please. They may not use or quote from other writers' stories without written permission.

7. SUBMISSION OF STORIES and DEADLINES
Slots should be claimed by April 30 2017. Stories, poems, pictures AND puff pieces should be in by July 30th 2017.
