Superhero anthology seeking writers and stories (no fanfic)
By jamesewelch 8 Comments
Deadline: OPEN UNTIL FILLED or 31st October 2010
Seeking original, previously unpublished stories of superheroes. This can be pure comic-book style heroes, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, etc but the central theme / characters in the story MUST involve superheroes.
Fan-fiction is not suitable so no stories set in Gotham or Metropolis, thank you.
Submission Guidelines
No gratuitous violence or erotica/porn, please. If swearing, violence or sex is a fundamental part of the story then that is fine and will be reviewed on its merits.Word count between 2500 and 8000. If you have something longer then please query first (email: powers@imadethat.org).
Formats accepted: DOCX – Word 2007, DOC – Word 2003 or earlier, and RTF – Rich Text Format.

Please include a bio of up to 150 words AFTER your story.
Simultaneous submissions are okay but please let us know – as soon as it happens – if your work has been accepted elsewhere.
Reprints are not accepted (pieces published on your personal blogs/journal do not count as ‘published’ but, if accepted for inclusion in the anthology will have to be removed from your site immediately).
