Edited by D.L. Snell & Bobbie Metevier

Submission Guidelines

Editors D.L. Snell and Bobbie Metevier are now reading for Permuted Press' 1st volume of Best New Tales of the Apocalypse.  This is a reprint anthology exclusively for material first published in 2007.  We are interested in short stories and novellas from all genres--horror, science fiction, mystery, romance, etc.--which feature an impending apocalypse, occurrence of the apocalypse, or a post-apocalyptic setting.  If in doubt, send it.

The submission period begins immediately and will close June 1, 2008. Payment will be one contributor's copy, plus $0.01/word (USD) based on the editors' final word count from Microsoft Word (rounded to the nearest hundred words). Stories should be sent in their originally published form--do not rewrite the story before submitting.  Send as an attachment to apocalypticstories@gmail.com in either .DOC or .RTF format.  Include in the body of the email:

• The full title of the story and a brief synopsis (we're primarily interested in what makes your tale fit this anthology)
• The publication title, date of publication, and publisher of publication where story appeared (web link to publication and/or publisher information would also be helpful)
• A 50- to 100-word author bio (optional)
  

Submissions should be no more than 25,000 words by word-processor count, and must be in standard manuscript format: one-inch margins on all sides, Courier New font, underline for italics, double-spaced, etc. If you don't receive confirmation within 3 business days, we did not receive your submission.

Final selections will be made no later than September 2008. Submitting authors will be notified when the anthology has been filled.

Questions should be addressed to apocalypticstories@gmail.com.
