Yesterday I received an e-mail from Linda Fisher, publisher of Mozark Press, reminding me about the deadline for the Shaker of Margaritas: Bad Hair Day anthology. I'm not sure I can get something together by then, but maybe some of my visitors can. Here are the details:
The deadline is July 15. Linda is looking for humorous fiction stories about a bad hair day, "one of those days when things don’t go according to plan; in fact, it is as horrible as a bad perm or hair that turns green—unintentionally. Things go wrong, but with humor, stubbornness, and attitude—the female protagonist can survive any kind of bad hair day."
Approximately 20-25 stories will be selected for the anthology and will be paid $20 upon publication. For submissions guidelines visit the "Bad Hair Day" page on http://www.mozarkpress.blogspot.com/ or http://www.mozarkpress.com/

Last week in the comment section on my post about the Chicken Soup for the Soul dispute settlement, Dahlynn McKowen, editor of Publishing Syndicate, issued this invitation to my visitors:
". . . I have created a competing anthology -- "Not Your Mother's Book...[subtitle]." It's a new anthology for a new century and I invite you and your fans to submit stories! http://www.publishingsyndicate.com/ Thanks!"
The August 1 deadlines are for: On Travel and On Being a Stupid Kid. Here's a link to the submission guidelines where you can also read details about compensation options.
So many submission opportunities, so little time!

I have a couple of Not Your Mother's... stories simmering on the back burner. They should be almost ready. I let them marinate for a while before they even hit the stove.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteExactly! There aren't enough hours . . .
Hi Val,
Good for you. As my mom would say, "Now you're cooking with some grease."

A Bad Hair Day? I may have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI bet Linda would love to get a submission from a man.
DeleteThanks for sharing these. I'm thinking about what I might submit. The topics are great.

ReplyDeleteBad Hair Day - boy, could I write a tale about that. Instead, I'll be writing blog posts. And that's OK :)

Hi Carol,
You are so right.
