We are Remaining Open for Submissions in 2012

18 Jan

Hello fans of auntie literature. I know you all have stories you’ve been trying to convince all the snooty, highbrow publications that they want (I’ve been trying to sell sci-fi to places like McSweeneys and Zoetrpoe since I was in kindergarten), but perhaps your stuff is too unconventional, too off-the-beaten path…

Have no fear. Even if the aunt involved in your work is a MINOR character, a past influence on present circumstances, we still want to see your work!

Your aunt is important to us!

Please send fiction and nonfiction under 7500 words to:

auntichrist1@gmail.com

You will be notified within 6 weeks if your work has been chosen to appear in the anthology, which is scheduled to wrap in the Fall of 2013.

Let’s all give a shout-out to the Aunts of the world!

We salute you!

Auntie-Don’ts

The Auntichrist Anthology is Open for Submissions

12 Sep

Wow. Is it that time? The end of the world as we know it??

No. Close, but no.

It’s time to send your awesome, crazy, messed-up, unforgettable aunt stories to the editors of the Auntichrist Anthology, an collaborative work-in-progress all about (you guessed it) aunts.

Fiction Guidelines: Send short fiction or self-contained novel excerpts of ten pages or fewer (length exceptions will be made only for the most thrilling, exceptional work) to our managing editor at auntichrist1@gmail.com. Please send Word documents only, as attachments. If you do not have MS Word, please include your piece in the body of the email.

Nonfiction Guidelines: Send short humor / horror stories to the above email address and follow the fiction guidelines for everything else.

Please, no poetry. Thanks.

Deadline: Sunday, January ONE, 2012
