Just across my desk, Coscom Anthology is looking for truly scary Bigfoot monster stories, and this is a pretty standard paid gig, but hey it is a way for someone to get published so we couldn’t pass this one up today. You can get the majority of the details over on the Coscom Entertainment blog, and while you are there check out their facebook page. In long this is what they are looking for and what you get out of the gig. Go check it out.
Title: Bigfoot Among Us
Editor: A.P. Fuchs + Eric S. Brown
Publisher: Coscom Entertainment
Release Date: 2011What we want:
Terrifying stories featuring Bigfoot, whether as a lone creature or as a group. The setting can be anything you want, however, unusual settings like cities, other historical periods, etc. will be given preference.
Your story only needs two things to qualify:
– Bigfoot must be the main bad guy(s)
– Needs to be genuinely scaryStories are to range from 3,000 to 6,000 words (though we’re willing to go a bit over, within a couple hundred words).
What rights do we want?
First print and electronic rights to your story and exclusive rights for 1-year after publication.
What we don’t want:
In the interesting of keeping the anthology friendly for a younger audience:
No coarse language or graphic sex.
No reprints. New stories only, please.
Multiple submissions are allowed, but only up to two at any one time.
What we’re making:
Bigfoot Among Us will be published as a trade paperback and as an eBook.
What you get:
1 cent a word and a contributor’s copy. The paperback copy of the book will be sent to you upon or shortly after the book’s official release date. Payment is based on final word count from the final edited copy of the story, so once your story is ready for print, payment will be sent to you via Paypal.
In all pretty cool, so if you have a Bigfoot story that will scare the pants off adults, then this is your opportunity to see yourself in print.
