Shakespeare Unleashed Submission Guidelines
“O horror! Horror! Horror! Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thee!”
Announcing our next anthology... SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED.
Edited by James Aquilone. Publishing in 2023.
We have an amazing lineup of authors and poets lined up for the anthology — which will feature horror stories based on Shakespeare's plays and characters. We'll also have horror sonnets!
Like Classic Monsters Unleashed, we'll take submissions after our Kickstarter next year. The anthology will be about 75% from invited authors and 25% from the slush (though we ended up with 33% from uninvited authors for Classic Monsters Unleashed). We're still trying to nail down the launch date for the Shakespeare Unleashed Kickstarter, so we don't have an exact date when we'll open for subs, but we thought we'd reveal the guidelines so you can get a jumpstart on your story.
SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED SHORT STORY GUIDELINES:
Payment: 6 cents a word
Length: 1500 to 6000 words
Submission Period: July or August 2022
Expected Publish Date: April 2023
Kickstarter Launch: Spring 2022
No reprints, multiple subs or simultaneous subs
We're looking for dark and scary stories — no parodies or humor pieces. Stories can be set in time periods other than the Elizabethan era, and can be updated or reimagined or merely "based on."
SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED SONNET GUIDELINES:
Payment: $25 flat fee
Length: 14-line Shakespearean sonnet
Submission Period: July or August 2022 (tentative)
No reprints, multiple subs or simultaneous subs
We're looking for horror sonnets — no parodies or humor pieces. Sonnets can be based on one of Shakespeare's sonnets or plays or characters (let us know which one when you submit) or they can be totally original, but they should still evoke Shakespeare in some way.
DO NOT SEND US STORIES OR SONNETS UNTIL WE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS.
