Rymfire eBooks has decided to do something a bit different…
We’ll be opening up our
State of Horror
series all at once, to include a block of States that we’ll be doing a reading for…
Effective Immediately the following States will be Open for Submissions:
Nevada
Maine
Washington state
Maryland
Colorado
Alaska
Oregon
Michigan
Reading period will be Until Filled with 5 – 7 Horror Tales for Each Release
Length and submission…
We are looking for tales in the 2,500-7,500 word range. Nothing more, nothing less. We will return (unread) anything not within these guidelines. You can submit a story as either an attachment to the e-mail address in Word (NOT docx) or in the body of an e-mail. We do NOT accept snail mail. Please put “State of Horror: (respective State)” in the subject of the e-mail (and it MUST have the State listed or it will be deleted unread!) and give a word count in the e-mail itself, even if the story also has it listed. Our reading time is usually 10-12 weeks NO multiple submissions, NO exceptions. Reprints accepted.
Payment info…
We pay $3.00* for each story accepted via PayPal. That’s it. We are a brand new eBook-only publisher looking to get the name out there and get some quality releases under our belts without making the mistake of so many other small-press publishers and overdoing it in the beginning. We pay everyone once the anthology has been officially filled and proofed. If this is acceptable, kindly submit to us.
* Our eBooks will generally sell for $2.99… we offer the $3.00 flat rate, but an author can earn royalties after each 150 eBooks sold as follows:
~ 1-149 eBooks sold = $3.00 flat advance
~ 150-300 eBooks sold = an additional $3.00 per author
~ 301-450 eBooks sold = an additional $3.00 per author
~ 451-600 eBooks sold = You get the idea…
ADDITIONALLY, we will be publishing a PRINT version as well, and for every print book sold it will count towards THREE sales to reach each 150 level

I have story to send you for consideration in this anthology …

Dare I try and fit in a story for the Maine anthology in between 3 other projects I’m juggling. My company had me travel to the corporate office in Portland during the winder….a 2 and hour half trip. They did put me up in a hotel the night before the writing…the clerk was a little bit unusual, in mostly good way. I had a heck of a time finding a pizza place that would deliver to the hotel…maybe I could work those elements into something. I’ll give it some thought…would a story confined mainly to a Maine hotel (I’ll have t change the name all parties involved) and its immediate surroundings, be too confined for a State of story? Come to think of it, I had trouble working my key card to get onto the elevator, which was actually outside the lobby. (They were renovating at the time…maybe the renovations were a cover for something else. I’ll have to give it some thought. but I don’t know if I could do it justice if it’s something I’ll be whipping up quick.
Sure, add in some Maine-esque elements that you felt and saw when you were there… I’m not interested in history lessons about a certain State, but your setting would be fine…
Now go write it!
Maine still open and will it be for the forseeable (if not too long) future? I finally got my idea into some kind of form (somehow elemets of the Cthulu Mythos reared their ugly and multi headed selves into it), I just have to organize it and write it….remembered a few other elements from a previous brief trip to Maine that I can also use. A saying popular in this area (and maybe others) Light dawns on Marblehead. Thanks
Yes, Maine is still open…
