ANTHOLOGIES
SUBMISSIONS
GUIDE
Submissions
for novels and novellas should be made through the Fiction4All Publishing Hub
at https://fiction4all.com/publishing
You
need to become a member first as that is the basis for our publishing software
and royalty payment systems. You can submit stories to our anthologies from
within the Anthology Writers suite.
It
is essential all writers submitting to our anthologies follow the instructions
given against each open call for submissions. This includes the length of the
story submitted. Scripts will be rejected if you do not follow the
instructions.
Ideally
submissions should be written to the following standard:
1st
line - story title in Cambria 16 pt bold - centred on page with no paragraph
indent
2nd
line - author name in Times New Roman 14 pt bold -centred on page with no
paragraph indent
For
example:-
This
Is My Story
My
author name
Start
any new chapters on a new page headed as Chapter 1 and so on, again centred and
in Cambria 16pt bold:-
Chapter
1
The
actual script should be written in Times New Roman, 12pt. Paragraphs should be
indented 0.75cm on the first line and all should be single spaced. This text is
an example of how we prefer the script to be laid out.
To be
sure we have received the whole document please end your story with The End
after the final line - we will remove this.
We
reserve the right to make alterations to any text without your permission on
the basis such changes will be for the purposes of formatting the script to our
in-house style, resolving any spelling or grammar issues and ensuring
characters and locations are named consistently. We will not change the story
itself other than for the above checks.
As
of 2024, we are only likely to reject scripts that do not follow our guidelines
and which we consider are not readable. If our editor can understand your
story, which is written to a reasonable standard, it will be accepted. If your
script is rejected, and you want feedback, our editor will be happy to explain
why it is unsuitable. You can choose at the time of making the submission.
If
your submission is accepted into an anthology, we will publish it once the
anthology is full. You can submit as many stories as you wish. Normally we will
accommodate up to three submissions from you in a single anthology, and further
submissions may be carried forward to subsequent volumes if we have more submissions
for the current volume than we need.
