KEYS
WHAT IS IT?
KEYS 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 adults in which keys (real or metaphorical) play 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 KEYS in the subject line.
1. Stories can be any length within reason. Genre is open. Characters can be any age, and stories can be at any level, up to M-rated. (That is, OK for readers of 14 or 5 plus. No overt horror please... your editor has fragile nerves.) 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 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
Stories, poems, pictures AND puff pieces should be in by (new date) MARCH 30th 2018.
