YOU could be published...in the SCRIBE anthology

Sometimes we all need a little push to get us going in the right direction. This is particularly true for writers; it's way too easy to put off writing until "tomorrow" which likely never comes. So here's your push: Later this year, SCRIBE will publish There Is No End, an anthology of writings by the members of Scribe, the Riverbend Writers Group. We are now accepting submissions for this project; in fact I've already received a couple. If you submit a piece which is accepted, it will be printed in the anthology and you will be part of the book launch party where selected authors will read from their work and all included authors will be invited to sign copies of the book.
Submissions for the anthology may be short stories, memoirs, poems, short plays, anecdotes, essays, etc. Your submission should relate in some way to one of the following themes: Grace. Hope. Faith. Love. Don’t think of this as a “devotional” book; themes should be subtle and need not be “religious” in nature. Not all submissions will be printed. Submissions will be edited and in some cases, given back to authors for further fine-tuning. Do your very best work!
Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Riverbend’s building fund.

Submission guidelines:
• Submissions must be in electronic format, in a Microsoft Word document or compatible format.
• Submissions must be no longer than 2,500 words. No exceptions.
• Submissions should relate in some way to the subject of grace, faith, hope or love.
Deadline for submissions is midnight Saturday, April 30, 2011.
• Email submissions to Mike Robertson, or submit your work on a CD or flash drive.

If you have any questions, please email me. You now have a reason to write. I can't wait to read what you come up with.

  1. Hi all! I'm hoping someone will bring a sample of a story that they've written for submission! I'd started working on something but, I'm already at 3K words and I've not even told the story yet! LOL~ Looking forward to hearing some work from my talented cohorts!

  2. This will be a good exercise for you, Dana, trying to write something so brief!
