Howdy Pardners!
Mosey on up ta the bar and let me tell ya about the darnedest, silliest, most outrageous Western anthology this side of the Mississip'.
Y'all heard right! CyberAliens Press'll be spittin' out another one o' them themed anthos on OCTOBER 1, 2009.
We'll be featuring hilarious stories of the Wild West, some sappy Prairie Romance, and even a little bit o' SteamPunk - as long as it's knock-us-on-our-butt funny! We're also lookin' fer cowboy poetry and limericks, art and comics, and anything else that's sure-as-shootin' silly.
So saddle yer ponies, get them doggies ta market then set yerself down and write us the silliest bunch a words what never come outta that pencil a yers.
In plain language:
We are looking for short stories from 500 to 3500 words in length, as well as poems, jokes, puns, limericks, artwork, and general silliness. All submissions must express one of the following themes:
+ American Wild West
+ Steampunk
+ Prairie Romance
or some mixture of the above.
NEW DEADLINE: Submissions are open now through AUGUST 1, 2009. Acceptances and declines will be ongoing through the submission period. No late submissions will be accepted. Put "SUBMISSION: [TITLE]" in the subject line, and address all correspondence to The Editors (there's two of us) and email them to: sillywestern @ gmail.com - ¿Comprende? Now saddle up and write.
Compensation: Each author we publish will receive a complimentary copy of the anthology. In addition, we'll pay $5.00 for each short story (at least 1500 words) we accept, and $1.00 for shorter pieces (at least 500 words). Anything under 500 qualifies the author for their free book. You will receive a contract to review upon acceptance.
