Seeking A Writing Residency?
Call for manuscripts!
Last year we sent out a call for submissions
for our next book They Lied! True Tales of Weddings and Honeymoons and the
response we received was fantastic.
It was so good in fact that we’ve decided to expand the call
for submissions to October 15th, 2005
to get even more of those funny, unexpected, knee slapping stories.
You know the kind of story we mean – the ones that sound a
little hard to believe and may not have seemed all that funny at the time, but
you look back on them now and can’t stop yourself from laughing out loud –
that’s what we want! From off-beat engagements, to ceremony catastrophes;
from dueling in-laws and reception disasters to honeymoon hijinx, we want to
hear it all.
This is your chance to share your story with the world and
become a published author. If your story is selected, you will be paid a
one-time fee of $100.00 US.
Check out the FAQ section of our web site:
www.theyliedtruetales.com for
submission guidelines.
Come on and send us your stories, we’d love to read them!

New York Stories is seeking short fiction and non-fiction
Details: www.newyorkstories.org
Stories should have strong characters, fresh voices and distinctive angles of vision. We are open to the best work we can find from around the world. The stories do not need to be set in New York, but we do welcome stories that explore the city's diversity. Stories above 5,000 words have less chance due to space constraints. We publish six to eight an issue.
Non-fiction pieces should focus on life in New York City and be creative in the tradition of Joseph Mitchell. We've published pieces as diverse as a profile of Ludlow Street, a Queens childhood memory and an account of a job in a bagel factory. At least one appears in each issue.
Competition is intense. We pay for your work on publication at rates competitive with major literary magazines.
