Whispering Angel books is currently accepting submissions for our latest anthology and for our manuscript contest.
Anthology Submissions
Whispering Angel Books is now accepting submissions for its next anthology. The deadline is March 15, 2011.
Nurturing Paws will focus on the physical, emotional, and spiritual healing power that animals have on our lives. Each piece should be uplifting, inspirational and based on a true event. Stories about all animals are accepted; they do not have to have paws.
Submissions Requirements:
Short stories, personal essays or poems. Please title your piece.
Typed, written in English, and less than 1,500 words.
Submissions for our anthologies are accepted by email only and will not be returned. They can be attached as a Microsoft Word document or included in the body of the email. Stories and essays should be double-spaced. Poetry may be single spaced.
Multiple submissions will be accepted.
Previously published material is accepted if you have retained your rights or have written permission from the previous publisher.
There is no fee to submit your work and no obligation to purchase any books. If your work is selected, you will receive one free copy as compensation. You will retain all rights to your work, but you will need to sign a release for publication.
