antonstroutThere are two sides to every story... And we here at CatsCurious Press think that our readers deserve to read BOTH! Again!
A Call for Submissions... of the Faery Taile Kynde!
CatsCurious Press will re-open to submissions starting October 1, 2010 for all well-written, humorous fairy tale re-tellings (except red riding hood, but that's because we've been there, done that)! But there's a catch -- these stories must be written from ONE POV only... the protagonist's.
Why would we be so strict, you ask? Because
antonstrout, author of 'Dead To Me', 'Deader Still', 'Dead Matter' and 'Dead Waters' has already gotten on board to write a counterpoint story! That's right -- once we have plowed our way through the slush, Anton will review our favorite stories and then choose ONE from among them to write a counterpoint to.The end result will be a double-sided book with two covers (one featuring artwork for Anton's story, the other featuring artwork to coincide with the protagonist's point of view). Stories will be printed upside-down from one another -- flip the book over, and start fresh from the top! I can't wait to see the end result! Check out Faery Taile Project #1 here to see what we have in mind: http://www.amazon.com/Faery-Taile-Projec
Here are the requirements:
Story length must be between 7500 and 12,000 words
Stories must be humorous
Stories must appeal to a broad range of folks -- from twelve years old to adult (so no raunchy humor, please!)
Stories must be single POV, from the protagonist's point of view (this will take some finesse -- leaving enough details to the imagination that Anton can create a counterpoint, yet creating a rich-enough world that the reader won't be left wanting)
Submission period: October 1st, 2010 to 11:59:59pm December 31st, 2010
Any fairy tale is fair game (except red hood of course, for obvious reasons)!
The payment? $.06 per word and seeing your name next to
antonstrout's!Huzzah!

And might I add, for those on the fence about submitting, that participating in the Faery Taile Project made a huge difference for me. I highly recommend it.
And Sonya, any thoughts on selling e-book versions of these as well?
