Not Published? No Problem! Try No-Record Press!
May 29th 2007 05:19
Are you a previously unpublished writer with a few short stories lurking in the deepest, darkest recesses of your computer's hard drive? Have they been sitting there so long, in fact, that you're not at all sure you won't find cobwebs when you open them? Or does your inventory of short fiction fall on the opposite end of the spectrum where your latest fiction piece is so new that the ink isn't even dry yet? Either way, No Record Press is actively soliciting your short fictional manuscript for its next annual anthology, which will be published in early 2008.
This opportunity for previously unpublished writers of short literary fiction to have their work included in the next annual issue of the anthology, put out by No Record Press, is currently being advertised on Craigslist.Com (posted 5/25/07).
Here's the way No Record Press describes itself: "No Record is an organization dedicated solely to publishing promising literary works by previously-unknown writers. Our mission is to make available, for public consideration and benefit, noteworthy works by new writers that, for various reasons, may find it difficult to interest mainstream publishers."
No Record welcomes manuscripts between 500 and 10,000 words in length, and the submission deadline for the next anthology is July 1st, 2007 (publication date: February, 2008). Please see Writer's Guidelines before submitting (link in first paragraph of this post.)
Oh, and did I forget to mention: They pay $50 per accepted story and "all rights revert back to author on publication."
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me--especially for an unknown author who may be finding it difficult to locate a publisher who's willing to pay anything at all for the fictional works of previously untested new talent.
Seems to me that a new writer could certainly do worse!
Good luck!
