It’s always good getting submissions when we’ve asked for them. Like all publishers we get a lot of what
we’ve not asked for. I’m afraid we simply delete those. Life is too short. Do
read the guidelines carefully.
Among the various imprints for which I work there are two
calls out at the moment: one is the Bridge House Baubles. This is for our annual
anthology that we hope to publish on 15 November 2016. We’re looking for short,
snappy, sparkly stories that brighten up the darker nights like baubles enhance
the Christmas tree. We’re not talking about things that give you a good belly
laugh nor anything that is overly sentimental. Feel good is fine, yes, but just
a light touch. You’ll know it when you think of it. Find full details here.
Chapeltown is seeking to put together single author
collections of flash fiction. We favour the
really short variety and want to make beautiful hard copy books but we will
also publish them electronically. Proactive authors who will give reading and
do tours can do well here.
In addition CaféLit is of course open for submissions
all year round. And we put the best into an annual collection.
This really is the fun stuff for us. We enjoy watching
the submissions come in, making the selections and of course informing the successful
writers. We very much enjoy our yearly
get together where we have a chance to put name so to faces.
Want to join the fun? Well get submitting!
