Submission Call: Lesbian Halloween Anthology

Werewolves, vampires, ghosts, fairies, djinns, goblins, trolls, witches, brownies, banshees—beings that are not of this world. Or maybe they are…

I love Halloween, and I love stories about supernatural beings.

I’m a publisher. So why not combine my love for both and publish an anthology in October with stories that involve Halloween in one way or another? Yes, let’s do that. Let’s put out a submission call.

Here you go:

We’re looking for lesbian fiction. All submissions must have either Halloween or supernatural beings as the main theme. The stories can be romantic, humorous, enthralling, spooky or erotic.

We accept only short stories that haven’t been previously published.

Word count:
We are looking for stories between 4,000 and 12,000 words in length.

Payment:
Writers whose stories are selected for the anthology will receive a one-time payment of $40 (via PayPal) plus a free e-book of the anthology in each format (epub, mobi, pdf).

Deadline:
The deadline to receive submissions was set for July 31, 2013. So far we received some great stories – but we have place for some more. Because of that reason we expanded the deadline until August 15, 2013.

Submissions:
Electronic submissions only. Please send your story as an e-mail attachment (.doc, .docx, or .rtf) to info@ylva-verlag.de. Put “Halloween Anthology” in the subject line of your e-mail. In the body of your e-mail, please include your name, the title and word count of your story, and a two-or-three-sentence summary of your story.

It will take our editors about two weeks to review your submission; then we’ll get back to you.

We are looking forward to receiving your lesbian halloween stories.
