The Antithesis Collective is composed of five members all in their 20s. As much as we would like to slap you with our thick resumes filled with writing experiences, we can’t, simply because we don’t have that much. Our “writing experiences” are solely confined to our day jobs - two coming from development work, another two from website and content development, and one from a teaching job. Differences aside, all five members agree on the premise to publish quality books by local writers and to give those writers as much creative freedom as insanely and grammatically possible.
The Call for Manuscripts will be open for three to six months, depending on the turnout. The Collective will then read all submissions individually and as a quorum.
A. FOR EDITING - Your manuscript will be subjected to a test-read by five writers and five non-writers. Their feedback and opinions will be vital in polishing your work before it hits the press.
B. FOR IDEA DEVELOPMENT - Your manuscript is good but it can be better. We are willing to work with you for that to be a reality. We cannot promise that we will publish your work as soon as we finish re-working, but it will be prioritized once we open another call for manuscripts.
C. DENIAL - Your manuscript needs MAJOR re-working and perhaps you need to go back to the drawing board.
Should your manuscripts be slated for editing, we have no qualms meeting with you and having several brainstorming and editing sessions. In fact, we’ll do anything (go on road trips, stalk ex-lovers and their new mukhang-paa-beaus, pollute our lungs with nicotine and tar) to make sure you can squeeze more ideas out of your little pot-holed imagination if that means bettering your manuscript.
Submissions go to submissions@theantithesiscollective.com
