THE SUBMISSIONS PERIOD FOR VOLUME 9
OPENS ON THE 1ST OCTOBER TILL THE 31ST
Payment
is £25 per story regardless of length plus one contributor's copy of
the paperback. The book will be published as a paperback and ebook. If a
hardcover version is published we will pay an additional £25. Please send your submissions as attachments (doc, docx or rtf) headed
"Submission - Swords & Sorceries 9"
to:
paralleluniversepublications@gmx.co.uk
Please send only one submission - the one you consider the best fit for us.
Although we like original stories we will also consider reprints. Just let us know where and when it was previously published.
You can send in simultaneous submissions, but let us know if your story is accepted elsewhere as soon as you possibly can. Bear in mind you will only have to wait a maximum of one month and a week in which to receive a decision from us.
There is no limit on the size of submissions.
There
is absolutely no need to tell us anything about yourself because the
only thing that matters is the story. Everything else is irrelevant.
All
rejections and acceptances will be sent by email by the end of the
first week in November. Please don't enquire about your submission
before then.
And good luck!
In
the past we have received a number of stories that may be fantasy but
are not swords and sorcery. If you are unsure what swords and sorcery
is, you could get a better idea by checking out volumes 1 - 8. Saying
that, swords and sorcery is a broad genre and we are more than willing
to consider stories that stretch its limits, as we have in the past.
