SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR ABOMINABLE

Updated: Sep 29, 2022

SUBMISSION FOR THIS ANTHOLOGY IS CLOSED


Wicked Shadow Press shall publish mystery, thrillers, science fiction, horror, fantasy and their sub-genres.

Wicked Shadow Press invites fiction submissions for publication in its anthology of monster fiction "ABOMINABLE" (Expected release: October 2022). The final date of submission is September 15, 2022

Wicked Shadow Press is elated to announce its second venture - an anthology of Monster fiction: "Abominable"

We encourage writers to go ga-ga when it comes to the interpretation of Monsters.

If you are a horror or thriller writer. choose from a vast list that features the Yeti, Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, Krakens and more, or make up your own cryptozoological nightmare!

If you are into fantasy, you can always go for a breathtaking retelling of "The Beauty and the Beast" or adapt one of Grimm's tales and take it on an intergalactic ride!

Speaking of galaxies, in case you are a science fiction author, we would love to read something in the vein of "Frankenstein". We can never have enough of "mad" scientists intent on releasing their inner Mr. Hyde!

PLEASE NOTE that this is an anthology with a THEME. ONLY those submissions that feature monsters, shall be considered for publication.

WE ARE ACCEPTING

Short Story: (between 1500-8000 words) Send no more than TWO short stories per submission.

Flash Fiction: (between 50-1500 words) Send no more than THREE flash fictions per submission.

We are accepting TRANSLATED WORKS as well. Submission of translated works must be accompanied by a statement declaring that the translator has obtained the author’s permission and their publisher’s, if required.

Simultaneous Submissions are welcome but the author must inform us by e-mail as soon as the submitted piece is accepted elsewhere. Pieces cannot be withdrawn once Wicked Shadow Press informs the author of its acceptance for publication.

We consider reprints but generally do not publish them unless they are truly awesome!

At present, we are unable to pay our contributors. However, each contributor shall receive a COMPLIMENTARY DIGITAL COPY of the anthology as soon as it publishes.

All authors will receive digital copies of our forthcoming publications too, for one calendar year.

Manuscripts should directly be sent to WickedShadowPress@gmail.com

Please write the phrase "Submission for ABOMINABLE" in the subject line of your mail.
