is taking pitches for an anti-villain anthology! I'm going to pitch my
"Crime Doesn't Pay" story. Submissions are open until August 31st! It'd
be cool if he had a wide range of stories to choose from. This IS a paid
gig, so... let's get out there and DO THE THING
Job Details
Stories can be any type of modern or future genre fiction, including but
not limited to SF, horror, superhero, supernatural, weird, supernatural
religious, paranormal romance, etc.
Pitch emails should include a short sample of your fiction, a pitch for
your story in this anthology, and an introduction of yourself as a human
person.
I pay a minimum of $.05/word. I plan to pay $.10/word for shorter stories.
(I'm willing to negotiate paying you royalties instead, if I'm already
familiar with your work and you prefer that method of payment.)
Since I want to Kickstart this fiction anthology, I plan to pay two or
three authors for stories to show during the Kickstarter. Other authors
would start writing their stories after we fund. No one should start
writing their story until they have a contract and I've given them the go
ahead. I don't want anyone to write for me until I already have money for
them in hand.
Each story should be 800 to 2500 words. There may be one or two stories
that are longer than this.
There will be at least seven stories. Depending on how well the Kickstarter
does, there may be as many as fifteen.
I will accept pitches until August 31st. Pre-Kickstarter authors will
probably begin writing in October.
Post-Kickstarter authors will begin writing in January 2016 at the earliest.
The reply was:
By gods, I want to do this thing. I keep coming back to this and string at
it, I just have no idea who I would work with.
I don't know, maybe I'll just come up with something new. I just need
to...do that thing. In four days.
