BTW, for any of you who think that I stole that from Robert Heinlein, it's a biblical quote.
La Gr@not@ is jumping on the flash-fiction bandwagon and announcing a book of flash-fiction.
The theme is "Stranger(s) In A Strange Land", i.e. about refugees. As in MOST flash-fiction competitions, the prize will be to see your name in print. ALL profits to ONGs that work with refugees. La Gr@not@ makes no money on this one. All contributors get 1 copy at cost price + P&P and additional copies at 60% list price + P&P. The sender of the "best" entry gets fame + 3 free copies.
Stories for children readers esp. welcome, but stories for all ages accepted. Max. 486 words. ORIGINAL graphic art also most welcome.
Deadline 25th Jan., 2017. Please send entries to granota@la-granota.com with the theme as subject line. That's IMPORTANT, as we get a LOT of spam with subject lines of the type "Hi!" or "documents". They all go in the bin unopened.
Great idea.
Reckon you'll get a lot of submissions.
What is the cost for P&P? Also, a rough guide to how much the cost price of each flash fiction publication? Is there a compitition entry fee or any hidden costs?
I'm not illiterate. I'm in Spain and the cultures clash in my brain. ONGs is Spanish (+ Catalan) for NGOs.
We're hoping for lots of entries (hope is our weak point) but let's say that each person can submit 3 texts and/or 3 graphics. This might be modified according to the response.
