I am pleased to announce the submission call for our Scottish Horror Anthology: Bloody Heather.
Think of mist-covered hills, gothic cities, lonely isles - where better for your horror story than Scotland? Scotland is simply the theme of the anthology, the rest is up to you and your imagination. And no, you yourself don't actually have to be Scottish to make a submission.
Stories must range between 25,000 to 30,000 words in length. Please note, only manuscripts that fall in this word count will be considered. The collection will be released as an e-book and we anticipate a release in print to coincide with this, in spring/summer 2015.
Submissions are open to all authors, whether already known to Dark Chapter Press or aspiring to be published with Dark Chapter Press. All submissions must be new, original material—previously published submissions will not be considered. Previously submitted manuscripts will not be considered either. Be aware that manuscripts submitted for this anthology cannot be resubmitted at a later date unless by invitation from the editor.
To submit a manuscript for consideration, please send an email to submissions@darkchapterpress.com and include:
The full manuscript (of 25,000 to 30,000 words) with a comprehensive 2-5 page synopsis. Also include a letter of introduction/query letter.
When you send your manuscript, be sure to use the naming convention Bloody_Heather_Title_MS and Bloody_Heather_Title_Synopsis. This will ensure that your submission is processed as a priority under the special call for this anthology. Submissions are open until November 30th, 2014. No submissions will be accepted after this date—no exceptions.
