October 1, 2020: Call for Submissions
Superior Shores Press is pleased to announce plans for its third multi-author anthology, Moonlight & Misadventure: 20-22 Stories of Mystery & Suspense. The premise (target theme of Moonlight & Misadventure) must be an integral part of the plot, not necessarily the central theme but not merely incidental. In other words, there must be moonlight, and there must be some form of misadventure. That said, we really do not care for werewolves or any other moon-related mythical beings. Think Mystery. Think Suspense. Murder is okay, but it’s by no means essential.
The deadline for submission is January 15, 2021 or until 100 submissions have been received, whichever comes first. Starting November 2020, this website page will be updated periodically with the number of submissions received. Late submissions and/or submissions after 100 entries have been documented will not be considered.
All submissions will be acknowledged. If you submit and do not receive an acknowledgment within 7 days, please Contact Me.
Acceptance/rejections will be emailed to all submitting authors on or before April 1, 2021.
Estimated length: 20 to 22 stories / 250-300 printed pages in trade paperback format. An introduction, acknowledgments, and author bios will be included. Publication date is scheduled for *June 2021.
Both reprints and new material will be considered, although preference will be given to new material. Previously unpublished authors are welcome to submit. Please, no simultaneous submissions.
For an idea of the type of stories that have been selected in the past, please read The Best Laid Plans: 21 Stories of Mystery & Suspense and/or Heartbreaks & Half-truths: 22 Stories of Mystery & Suspense, available in trade paperback and all e-book formats.
