Think fast. What do these three things have in common?
Turtle. Watermelon. Sex Worker.
They are the prompts for a short story, 5000 words, to be featured in an upcoming anthology, Cucurbital 2, by small press Paper Golem. Lawrence Schoen, editor and owner of Paper Golem, is still looking for additional good stories (he has a few). He mentioned that the deadline will be extended past May 31, 2011 in order to give good writers more time. But he wants to get this anthology done to launch at Capclave 2011.
Capclave is a convention dedicated solely to the celebration of small press works and authors. So, help a publisher / editor out. Send your 5000 word story now. More details can be found at http://www.papergolem.com/cucurbital.html.
Important Note: Do yourself a favor. Follow the submission instructions. Anyone who doesn’t gets File Thirteened instead of read. Lawrence is very strict about this. (But then, if you’re a writer, you’re always following the submission instructions, right?)
