FOF Publishing is pleased to announce an open submissions period for our first horror anthology, “Zombie Uprising” to be published in paperback early in 2011. With Zombie Uprising, we are looking for horror fiction of the highest order. We drive ourselves to disturb and provoke through the power of stories well told. Bring us your stories about zombies and the early days in the zombie apocalypse so that they will fill our pages with terror.
We place no prior restrictions on content, but please be aware that violence and/or perversity used simply for shock value won’t cut it with us. Works selected for ZU will be those that travel to a place beyond to carry readers into a world where comfort is in short supply, hope is insufficient to save the day and one’s complicity in one’s own fate is laid bare.
Guidelines:
For ZU, we will be reading original, stories of between 6,000 and 25,000 words in length. Each work must be accompanied by a separate synopsis, describing the story in full. All submissions will be reviewed by at least one editor, but a Senior Editor will read every synopsis. Only submissions e-mailed to the address below will be considered. Failure to follow guidelines may result in a submission being rejected without being read.
Submissions deadline is September 1st, 2010, with publication scheduled during the 1st half of 2011. A response to your submission should be expected from us within 90 days of receipt.
For works selected, we pay in one contributor copy. Additional copies will be available to authors at retailer prices and restrictions. For established authors, rates are negotiable. Final response time: six months or sooner. .
Manuscript format:
-12 point courier font
- standard margins
- left side of header: name, contact info
