THIS PAGE IS FOR THOSE WRITING STORIES FOR INCLUSION IN OUR VARIOUS ANTHOLOGIES

If you agree to our terms and conditions (see the DOCUMENTS links below) then you are welcome to register with us and start submitting your stories.

We welcome both new and experienced authors who want to submit stories to our Open Calls for our Horror and Science Fiction/Fantasy Anthologies.

Fiction4All publishes anthologies on an exclusive basis. Where a submission is marked as NEW, it must not have already been published by you the author or made available elsewhere.

Do NOT submit stories you have sent elsewhere and you are waiting for a response. Only make submissions where, if accepted, we can continue to publish them. It is a waste of our editorial time if we accept a story only to have it pulled at the last minute.

Please follow the guidelines in making all submissions. Our editors work hard and their requirements are stated for a reason. They will not accept any submission that does not meet their requirements.

As part of the submission process you can now digitally agree to the terms of our standard publishing agreement, which will, if your submission is accepted, be deemed by us as your agreement to continue to include your submission in the stated anthology without the need for a signed paper contract.

For all authors submitting stories on this site, we require you to be a member of our sites, and if your submission is accepted but you do not digitally agree to the terms of our standard publishing agreement, we will provide you with a Publishing Agreement which will be set up between Fiction4All and the author.

The terms and conditions for our anthologies can be found below.

Where you require a physical agreement this will be created based on the information you, the author, provide at the time of submitting the book to us. We will send out physical agreements approximately 2 weeks before the anthology will be available for sale. For physical agreements, if we do not receive your agreement within a week of the anthology going on sale we will ignore your submission.

Before submitting a story to us, please make sure you have thoroughly spell-checked and grammar checked it. If you submit books that do not come close to our standards we will not be able to accept your submission.

If your book meets our standards and once a Publishing Agreement is in place (either digitally or physically), we will ensure the book is formatted to our in-house style, add accreditation for your story within the anthology and create the various formats required to sell the anthology on our sites and on 3rd party sites.

As of Juy 2024 all anthologies are created using the Fiction4All imprint and will be sold on several websites including Amazon and Smashwords. There's more info on this in our Anthology Publishing Guide document below. At this time we do NOT pay a fee for stories. We will also create a paperback edition of the anthology See our Anthology Paperbacks guide for more details.

If you are at least 18 years of age and looking for a publisher and want to discover how to get published by Fiction4All, please read the documents below. They tell you a lot more about our publishing program, what we do, what we expect from our authors, and other terms and conditions.

ANTHOLOGIES

OUR ETHOS, YOUR CHANCE

Fiction4All was originally brought into being to give both experienced and new authors a chance to get noticed, and we take this ethos into our Anthologies. We have introduced a new series of anthologies for horror, called Dark Emporium, and also a new series for Science Fiction and Fantasy called Unknown Destinies.

All you, as the writer, need to do is write something we consider to be readable. We all have a story in us and the two series are there to create as much choice as possible. Make your characters interesting, your settings understandable and make your story so people are likely to enjoy them, or be scared by them, as appropriate.

Fiction4All will create anthology compilations, to a total of roughly 40,000 words, in both series using our Fiction4All imprint. We will create these to a standard format, with generic cover images, and get these on sale both on Fiction4All and on Smashwords and Google Play as eBooks. We will also create paperback editions on Fiction4All, and the paperbacks on Fiction4All will also be distributed by Ingrams through their Global Connect catalogue so can be ordered through Hight St. bookshops and other online venues.

Each anthology will also be marketed through Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. More channels will be added in the future.

Whilst for the present we do NOT pay a fee for contributions to the anthologies, we hope sales in the future will allow us to. Our aim at the moment is to give exposure to as many writers as possible in a timely manner, in the belief that as time goes on these anthologies will grow in popularity.
