A Call for Submissions for CRAB ORCHARD REVIEW

June Cotner Anthologies

Details: http://www.junecotner.com/jccallsub.html

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are used on a non-exclusive basis: You retain all rights. Please see bottom of section for terms. 

EVERYDAY INSPIRATION™ Series I’m creating a gift book series that will function as an extended greeting card. One mini-book, Because I Love You, Mom, will celebrate mothers; one will celebrate grandmothers; another will celebrate the bond between sisters; and the last one will celebrate the bond between friends. Your submissions should be short (ideally 12 lines or less) because the book will have a small trim size. The submissions need to be both universal enough to appeal to someone other than your own relative or friend and specific enough that the recipient feels the piece was written for her or him. Your words should help nurture a strong bond between the buyer and the recipient of the book. Please mark the lower left-hand corner of your envelope, "Mothers," "Grandmothers," "Sisters," or "Friends." Submission date is open.      

Submit your story in RTF format, no headers or footers, 12-pt. Arial or Times New Roman, double-spaced, with your name and contact information along with the approximate word count at the top of the page. Submit by email as an attachment to belief@honeylocustpress.com  In your cover email, include your last three publishing credits, if any, as well as your preference for author compensation.
