This is a book C. D. Turner wanted to edit next. Stories only, no flash and no poetry.
Send stories to me at author.chris@gmail.com with Twain in the subject line. Stories should be over 2,000 words. Stories must be in an attachment.
No headers, footers, page numbers. Put a bio at the end of the story in the manuscript.
Open until filled.
Please login to download attachments. | |

If I were so inclined, I might find myself writing a short story, comprised of a reconstruction or an anecdotal rehash of one of my many dubious enterprises.
I'd find pleasure in recounting an adventure from my youth, and in doing so in such a way as to provide entertainment, and perhaps a bit of warning to my good readers, that to endeavor to emulate such antics might result in incarceration, humiliation, heartbreak or disappointment of the highest order.
But I'm sure, at the least, I could offer this guarantee: One hell of a story!

Mark Twain's novel about King Arthur is my first book I read and wanted to write. I have never looked back to reading, its been a part of me ever since. I do have something for this for you to look at but I need a little time to find it and edit it.

Is there a maximum word count for this?

Thank you, Chris. I love this concept. And one of your brother's anthologies was the first book I ever had a short story published in... so I would love to get something for you to consider for this one also. But didn't want to make it too long. I am pretty sure you won't have to worry too much, I won't submit a novel, but maybe a multi part short story that gets 15k to 20k words. No promises though.
