|  | Behind Closed Doors - call for submissions
« Thread Started on May 31, 2012, 3:04pm » | |
Behind Closed Doors edited by Dorothy Davies
What goes on ... what family is tearing itself apart, what killing, what hate, what love if you want, goes on behind those doors, double glazed, solid wood, steel, roll down garage doors, any doors. As long as they're closed, you can find a story behind them.
A 'for love only' anthology, no money, no copies, but loads of exposure.
Please send stories to dorothystaticm@gmail.com with 'behind closed doors'' in the subject line.
Single spacing, please, no headers, footers or page numbers. Reprints are fine. Be sure to let me have a short bio with your story for the end of the anthology, for my Meet the Authors section. No word limit either way.
Please send the story as an attachment in anything but odt. I can't always open those. Please ensure the formatting is half decent, indented paragraphs, no extra lines between the paragraphs and dialogue (I have to edit them all out) and most of all, only 1 space between words. I have had a story in where there are 2 spaces between the words, can't be doing with it! Yes, I can find and replace but it is better if it comes in right in the first place. 99% of the stories which come in are fine, I have to say, but a few are not. When there are a lot of stories waiting to be read, I will naturally go to the ones which have been sent in the proper format. It's only natural.

thanks, Ron. The book is slow in Createspace, as it is on Amazon but all sales are slow at the moment, the downloads at work, sales in hard copy, slow, slow.
Suggestion: George Wilhite is looking to build up items for his blog to help promote his book, he's just interviewed me, send him a quick note and get on board there. It might help.

Neglected Prodigy by Ron Koppelberger is accepted for this anthology, with thanks! That's the second chilling ending story, if you see what I mean, already! This one is turning out just as I hoped. Once again you are coming through the way I knew you would!
