Workplace anthology seeks short stories
Editor Dennis Kaplan is seeking short stories for an anthology reflecting the contemporary workplace.
He says the editors are open to all viewpoints, "though our biases are skewed toward the dystopian, something like Dilbert meets Kafka meets Disgruntled.com. But other visions might just win us over. We also favor the personal over the polemic. Good writing is key."
Preferred length: 3000 - 10,000 words.
How to submit: Standard U.S. mail preferred: (include SASE)
4100-10 Redwood Rd. # 256
Oakland CA 94619-2363
You can also submit online at workanthology@yahoo.com.
PLEASE NO ATTACHMENTS.
Paste the story into the message window. (The editors say they understand this can mangle the formatting, so they'll be tolerant of imperfections.)
Payment: expect none; we have no contract yet and can make no promises. Acceptance does not guarantee publication. The editors' plan is to seek a publisher after they've selected the best 15-20 stories. If they are unable to find a print publisher, we will try to set up something on the Web.
Previously published OK, just let the editors know the source.
Simultaneous submission OK.
Deadline: 6/30/2006
