Alien - DESPATCHED FOR PRINTING, WHENEVER « Thread Started on Jun 4, 2012, 10:49am »
Alien edited by Dorothy Davies
here, there, everywhere, in our bodies, in our towns, in our skies, or are we on their planet, where are we really? where are they and what are they? explore the theme of alien.
A 'for love only' anthology, no money, no copies, but loads of exposure. Please send stories to dorothystaticm@gmail.com with 'alien' 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.
