Welcome to this week’s edition of Submission Sundays. Each week, I’ll be bringing you a unique call for submission. Each call will contain a speculative element and will offer payment upon acceptance.
Where ever you are on your writing journey, calls can inspire creativity. Getting used to submissions – and rejections – is important. Every established writer has a stack of rejections behind them. It takes guts and a willingness to fail.
Ready? Here’s this week’s call:
Tales From the Crust: An Anthology of Pizza Horror
Eligibility: horror stories revolving around pizza, 1000 to 5000 words. Multiple and simultaneous submissions allowed, please query reprints first.
Caveat: the publishers want this call taken seriously. No humor. Scare them.
What makes this call stand out: How will writers pull the concept of pizza horror from silly to frightening? Is Soylent Green an available topping?Let the imagination games begin!
Payment: $0.03 per word (currency unknown)
Submit by: June 1, 2018

Happy writing!

That’s different. I’d be very interested to see how this anthology turns out.

Me too. Sometimes such strangely specific calls turn up. Last month I saw one for “feminist bicycle science fiction with dragons.” Another one to watch for!

I feel like I could do something with that.

Here is the link to the call if you’re interested. I didn’t write it up here because the deadline is April 1st, but there’s still a few writing days left … http://takingthelane.com/2017/10/25/call-for-submissions-bikes-in-space-6-dragons/

That is a pretty tight deadline, but we’ll see.

That’s one of the oddest story topics I’ve seen in a while, reading the finished product might help me lose weight (and appetite) as well!

Indeed. Maybe we could start a fad diet
