Whimsical is looking for writers!

Whimsical Publications is open for submissions! In particular, they are looking for short stories for a Christmas Anthology. Here's the official announcement:

"Now accepting short stories for an anthology releasing in December.

WP is taking short stories for an anthology book to be released December 2011. The open dates for this are Sept 1 until Oct. 3, with the writers for the book announced Oct 10. Ten authors will be chosen. The stories must have a winter theme. NO erotica or gore, please. If you have romance in your story, keep it clean. This will be a family friendly book.

By winter theme, it could be a snowed in thriller/suspense in the mountains, about Christmas, about a romantic gathering in winter in the city of your choice, anything that has a winter concept involved. Remember, this is a family friendly book, so no erotica or gore. Keep it clean. Heart racing is good, though. The book will be in both print and ebook formats, with each author receiving two copies of the print book.

Word count limit is between 5k – 10k.

Place the words "Anthology Submission" in the subject heading and send the completed work to submissions@whimsicalpublications.com by October 3rd. No partial stories will be accepted."
