Philly Fiction
Call for stories. Submission deadline: August 7, 2004.
We are accepting submissions for a compilation of stories to be published later this year in a book tentatively called Philly Fiction. The book is intended to highlight Philadelphia as a city of literary inspiration. All stories must be written by authors who are from, have lived in, or currently live in Philadelphia. The stories must be set in Philadelphia or in some way deal with Philadelphia issues (e.g., a story about a group of friends from Philly that takes place at the Jersey shore). Stories cannot exceed 7,500 words; there is no lower word limit. Unpublished and unknown writers welcome. One story per submission. Submission by post only. Fiction only; no poetry.
Authors whose submissions are selected will be expected to work with the editors to fine tune their stories. There is no fee for submission. Selected authors will receive a copy of the book, but will not be otherwise paid. Philly Fiction reserves the right to publish the story in subsequent reprints of the book; authors otherwise retain the rights to their works. Philly Fiction will be sold in Philadelphia-area bookstores. For questions please contact
phillyfiction@yahoo.com.
Please send stories to:
Philly Fiction
P.O. Box 39861
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Print your address, phone number, and email on each submission. Please enclose a brief bio that details your affiliation with the City of brotherly love. Stories will be recycled, not returned. We look forward to reading your stuff!
