Winterborn
Submission
Guidelines as of June 30, 2008
Thaneros
seeks submissions to Winterborn, an anthology to be released
in e-book format January 5, 2009.
Desired:
Original erotic horror and dark fantasy between 5,000 to
15,000 words. No reprints, no science fiction please. Query
for longer, though chances are slim; no shorter works will
be accepted. If you must use traditional monsters, use them
in unconventional ways.
All sexual orientations will be considered, though incest,
rape, pedophilia, skat, and snuff are out. Sex must occur
during the story and must happen "on screen." Do
not be afraid of curse words, but do not use them gratuitously.
Choose the language and tone that flatters your story's setting,
characters, and plot best.
Works that focus on the interplay between love and death
or desire and pain are most likely to catch our eye, as will
stories that take place during the darkest and coldest time
of the year, from Halloween to Epiphany.
Payment: $15 US
per 5K words, to a maximum of $45 US, plus a copy of the anthology.
Rights: First electronic
rights, and the right to archive the story online for one
year. All other rights remain with the author.
How to Submit:
One story at a time, please, sent via plain
text e-mail only to Ethan Thomas at thaneros@shaw.ca;
attachments will be deleted unread.
Include the following in the subject line: [WINTERBORN
SUBMISSION] Title / Author Name.
Reading commences September 1st. Expect a response by December

Deadline: October
31st, 2008. All submissions received after that time will
be considered for future anthologies only.
Publication Date: January
5th, 2009.
