Submit your Short Story or Poem
We are so excited to open submissions for a new short story/poetry anthology.
What is it?
A collection of horror stories inspired by the Seacoast region between Plum Island, Massachussets and Kennebunkport, Maine, written by locals.
Submission Guidelines
-
To be considered, you must be a resident of the Seacoast area.
-
Please submit a summary of your plot and a few pages of content. If you have a completed piece that has not yet been published but you believe fits the guidelines, feel free to send it. If you're submitting a poem, please include a few stanzas.
-
The deadline for submissions is March 15th
-
Not all submissions will be accepted, but there will be an effort to include as many people as possible.
-
If your concept is selected, you will be sent a contract to establish due dates, payment, and drafting expectations.
-
Your final short story will be between 1000-7000 words. Poetry is expected to be shorter. Please indicate roughly how long you anticipate your piece will be.
Your stories should be...
-
Creepy. Scary. Unsettling.

Specific to our Seacoast in setting, style, history, vibe, etc
