GUIDELINES
for
Interfictions: An Anthology of Interstitial Writing
We invite submissions for an Anthology of Interstitial Fiction,
to be published by Small Beer Press under the auspices of the Interstitial Arts
Foundation in Spring of 2007.
What We’re Looking For
Interstitial Fiction is all about breaking rules, ignoring boundaries,
cross-pollinating the fields of literature. It’s about working between, across,
through, and at the edges and borders of literary genres. It falls between the
cracks of other movements, terms, and definitions. If you have a story idea
that’s impossible to describe in a couple of sentences, it may be interstitial.
We’re looking for previously unpublished stories that engage us and make us
think about literature in new ways. Rather than defining "interstitial" for you,
we’d like you to show us what genre-bending fiction looks like. Surprise us;
make us see that literature holds possibilities we haven’t yet imagined.
Who We’re Looking For
Writers in all genres of fiction (contemporary realism, mystery, historical,
fantasy, whatever) who have an idea that challenges generic tropes and
expectations. If you’re not sure whether a story is interstitial, send it along
anyway.
Practical Matters
Our submission period will be from December 1, 2005 to
June 30, 2006. Please
send hard copy only to our PO Box with an SASE for our response. If your
manuscript is disposable, you may enclose a self-addressed number 8 envelope.
You will hear from us after July, 2006.
Overseas submissions are welcome. Stories previously published in other
languages may be submitted in English translation for first English language
publication. Please send disposable manuscripts and include email addresses if
you don’t want to deal with Reply Coupons or buying US stamps abroad.
Please follow standard manuscript formatting and submission conventions: ie,
double-spaced, with 1" margins, and the name of the story on each page. No
simultaneous or multiple submissions. Word count is open, but the ideal range is
4,000-10,000 words. Payment will be 5 cents a word for first English-

In his widely read guides How to Write a Damn Good
Novel and How to Write a Damn Good Novel II: Advanced Techniques,
popular novelist and fiction-writing coach James N. Frey showed tens of
thousands of writers how--starting with rounded, living, breathing, dynamic
characters--to structure a novel that sustains its tension and development
and ends in a satisfying, dramatic climax. |
Now, in The Key, Frey takes his no-nonsense, "Damn Good" approach and applies it to Joseph Campbell's insights into the universal structure of myths. Myths, says Frey, are the basis of all storytelling, and their structures and motifs are just as powerful for contemporary writers as they were for Homer. Frey begins with the qualities found in mythic heros--ancient and modern--such as the hero's special talent, his or her wound, status as an "outlaw," and so on. He then demonstrates how the hero is initiated--sent on a mission, forced to learn the new rules, tested, and suffers a symbolic death and rebirth--before he or she can return home. Using dozens of classical and contemporary novels and films as models, Frey shows how these motifs and forms work their powerful magic on the reader's imagination. The Key is designed as a practical step-by-step guide for fiction writers and screen writers who want to shape their own ideas into a mythic story. |
