I am not saying that I care for The Twilight Saga, but I am not it's target audience and I don't think the author would expect someone like me to be a fan. I am only calling my fellow authors to arms: I am telling you to put you talent where your mouth is.
This is my call to authors, dreamers and fans to submit to me your best shot at a vampire story.
From now until December 1st 2010 I will be accepting submissions for an Anthology of Vampire Stories. I believe Vampires need a little bit more bite than we are getting nowadays and I am willing to do something about it.
I will be putting together a panel of 3 judges other than myself who will each rate your story. The highest rated stories will make it into the anthology. There is a very good chance that all stories that meet grammatical restrictions will be included in an alternate eBook only version of the book.
All authors who participate will receive a copy of the eBook version and the top 5 rated contributors will receive a contributor copy of the book. All contributors, whether chosen or not, will have access to a discounted rate on the book if they want.
There is no further compensation, this is exposure only.
Submissions should be sent to rebeccacarter@myself.com with the subject "Vampires with Bite" in the subject line.
