Scare us. We dare you.
We’re planning two anthologies featuring classic ghost story themes. Be they dark, steamy, humorous, sentimental or downright creepy, we want your ghost stories.
Tip Sheet:
* Suggested submission length: 20-25k
* Romantic elements preferred, but not required for either holiday-themed anthology.
* Holiday (Halloween or Christmas) theme preferred, but not necessarily required. If the story’s compelling enough, we won’t discriminate.
* Meta data: Straight-up, good old-fashioned “tales told ‘round the campfire”; folklore and ghost stories; Haunted houses, visitations, Dickens; Legends (but not necessarily myths); Rather more “Things that go bump in the night” than “Things that hump in the night”.
* Be sure you edit very carefully before submitting. (I'm not horribly forgiving, I'm finding)
* All submissions should be sent to: submissions@lyricalpress.com, SUBJECT: Ghost Story
* See below for submission deadlines:
