Call for Submissions - Destination: Mystery!
An Anthology of Destination Mysteries
Darkhouse Books is seeking stories for “Destination: Mystery”. A collection of mystery and crime stories set in locations popular for vacations.
We are looking for stories residing on the cozy side and that highlight the attraction and appeal of the setting – though please, no puff-pieces. We prefer stories with locations where average people vacation, including sandy resorts along Lake Michigan, log cabin lodges in the Adirondacks, quaint, coastal towns on any coast, and legions of other places forever enshrined in generations of family photo albums. Since we want the locations to be recognizable, stories should not be set prior to mid-twentieth century.
The submission period is now open and will remain open through 11:59pm (PST), March 31st, 2015.
We are seeking stories in the 2500 to 7500 word range, though if it’s truly knockout material, we’ll consider any length.
The anthology will contain between twelve and twenty stories, depending on the overall length. Authors will share equally fifty percent of royalties received.
We accept MS Word .doc and .docx files. Submissions must be in standard manuscript format.
Previously published work will be considered, provided the author has the power to grant us the right to publish in ebook, audio, and print versions, and that it has not been available elsewhere more recently than January 1st, 2014.
Submissions may be sent to:
submissionsATdarkhousebooksDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )
Please leave “Submission-Destination-“ in the subject line and add the name of your story.
