Charity Blog Button

Hello,
My kind friend Ann Snizek created the below button for those of us who are part of this project to use.

Please don't forget that submissions are due by August 1st, 2013 so I have time to read them, put them together and publish the book on October 31st, 2013 (Happy Halloween!) I'm so excited about this project and thank all that are willing to participate in it. It's such a worthwhile cause. 

If you have your stories done ahead of time, please feel free to send them over. Make sure you've edited and reedited them yourself before sending to me. Please send documents in .word. .doc or .docx. I use word 07 to do all my editing. I know, I'm a little behind the times but I'm getting a new laptop soon (can't wait) and will get the newest software installed in it at that point. Then I just have to figure out how to use the new'fang'led thing...LOL!

If you know other Authors that would be willing to write a short story for this book, please pass them along my way or have them post on here. We are open to all Authors. Just remember the guidelines:

1. No erotica, rape, incest, beastiallity, etc.

2. Must be vampire related

3. 30,000-50,000 words

4. Don't forget your Dedication/Acknowledgements/short bio(optional) page which you may choose to include in the beginning of your story along with a list of your other works.

I look forward to working with you all!

Keep Writing!

New publishing company!

Hi all!

I just wanted to let you know that vampiricallyrical is now also a publishing company. For a minimal fee, your book will be published on three major venues in both paperback and ebook. You will retain all the rights to your story and I will only take 25% of the royalties (after the vendor takes their fees) which is much lower than most traditional companies that take 40%. Please let me know if you or you know anyone who would be interested in my services. Thanks all!

Movin' right along!

Hi all!
I just wanted to let you know that we are movin' right along (good phrase for a Muppets song...LOL) on the charity anthology project. Here's the cover:

 I've had many authors contact me and say they'd like to participate so we are good. There's always room for more so if you have an author friend who'd like to submit one, that's fine too. I'm so excited about this project and St. Jude's. So, keep writing and don't forget the deadline for submission is August 1st by midnight. Talk to you all soon!

Welcome!

Welcome all!
I just wanted to formally welcome you to the charity anthology site for "In Vein". I am taking submissions of vampire stories, no erotica or porn but romance and mild heat allowed. Absolutely not a child's book. There are no lengths minimums but the stories must be about vampires. I'm hoping to have all submissions in by August 1, 2013 as I'm going to publish the book out on Halloween 2013. Each participant of the book will get a detailed summary of the funds given to the charity on a quarterly basis. Join in. Have some fun! Can't wait to read all your great stories!
Keep Writing!
