AUDIO BOOKS

The following titles by Michael Bailey are now available as audiobooks through Audible, and soon through iTunes.

HANGTOWN, based on a true story, is a historical western about the hangings in a placer mining town that once went by that moniker, one of the first established diggings during the chaos of the Gold Rush. Set in 1848 to 1850, the unlawful were punished and hanged swiftly for crimes of theft and violence, haunting forever what is now Placerville, California. Returning to his hometown, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated and Bram Stoker Award®-winning writer and editor Michael Bailey fills in the missing pieces of a town’s dark past in this homage to Charles Portis’ True Grit and Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. Cover artwork by Ben Baldwin, and illustrated by Mar Garcia.

PSYCHOTROPIC DRAGON is the third composite novel (technically a fiction collection) by Michael Bailey. Part short novel, part novella, part novelette, with a few short stories and fables in between, Psychotropic Dragon is a mind-bending composite narrative about Julie Stipes and her experience with the street drug Drakein-5. The psychotropic eye drops blur reality, sending her through a horrific journey of self-discovery and recovery. Each act in this ensemble is further brought to life with illustrations by Daniele Serra, Glenn Chadbourne, L.A. Spooner, and Ty Scheuerman.

PHOENIX ROSE, a composite novel. Michael Bailey returns to the strange town of Brenden, Washington to expand the events of Palindrome Hannah. A family is torn apart after a horse foaling goes terribly wrong; a sickly man recounts getting mauled by his neighbor’s dog; an undead priest is reborn into the world a hundred-fifty years after his untimely death; two brothers run for their lives through a dead field of wheat. Holding all of this together is a young boy named Todd, whose survival pivots on the balance of life and death, and a deranged mental patient with a burnt rose tattoo, whose reality is paradoxical. Cover artwork by Michael Ian Bateson.

PALINDROME HANNAH, a composite novel by Michael Bailey. Enter a cruel palindrome world: a symmetric place where disturbing situations displace the common; where good acts transmute to evil ones; where windows and mirrors are interchangeable. Within, characters influence each other through macabre arrangements of involuntary happenstance, and learn the inevitabilities of coincidence. A segmented story of a mother and daughter intertwines the others. This hidden sixth story, assembled from the five separate narratives, uncovers the sad life of a child who carries a palindrome name, and her struggling teenage mother. With five stories heading one direction, and Hannah traveling the opposite, the story unfolds like a palindrome. A puzzle within a puzzle.

OUR CHILDREN, OUR TEACHERS, a standalone novelette by Michael Bailey, nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction. Children are often our greatest teachers, but what happens if the lesson is too heavy to hold? A high school in rural Brenden, Washington is taken hostage by a gathering of unlikely students trying to teach the world a new lesson … a foreshadowing, perhaps, to darker times ahead for the American education system, if gun control is not addressed properly.

PALINDROME HANNAH – $0.99 BookBub / Audiobook

Palindrome Hannah is currently a BookBub selection. Snag this eBook March 27th through the end of April 3rd for only $0.99 in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. Also available as an audiobook.

THE LIBRARY OF THE DEAD – $0.99 BookBub

Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in an Anthology and illustrated throughout by gak, The Library of the Dead is an anthology of literary fiction inspired by Chapel of the Chimes, a crematory and columbarium founded in 1909 in Oakland, California, and one of the area’s most beautiful historic buildings. Thousands are entombed in golden books (urns) shelved from floor to ceiling in a glowing labyrinth of nearly countless rooms. The stories within represent a few of those golden books, and when opened, reveal the stories of those inside.

YOU, HUMAN, VOL. 2 – OPEN CALL

Written Backwards is not open to submissions at this time, but due to high interest and numerous inquiries about You, Human, Vol. 2 (to be released in 2025), we are announcing an early open call for submissions for the month of September, 2024. Do not send submissions yet (unless invited). The open call for submissions will begin September 1st and end September 30th later this year.

YOU, HUMAN

The first volume of You, Human (2016) won the Benjamin Franklin Award for science fiction and is the most successful and widely-read anthology published by Written Backwards. Josh Malerman’s story “The Jupiter Drop” was also nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction and is currently in development as a major motion picture.

If you need to catch up, it is highly recommended to read the first volume of You, Human before submitting work for consideration.

The second volume will again not only feature legends of the craft but showcase today’s emerging talent. The anthology is currently invite-only (with more announcements to be revealed soon), but submissions will open to the public in September.

What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be real? What does it mean to exist? What does it mean to be human? Once again, Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics will be re-evaluated and revised to help define humanity, this time by novelettes (7,500 – 15,000 words max).

Three Laws of Humanity:

A human being may not injure another human being or, through inaction, allow another human being to come to harm.A human being must obey the orders given it by other human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law.A human being must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second laws.

GUIDELINES

Manuscripts must include contact information on the title page, as well as author name (or pseudonym) and page numbers on subsequent pages; 12pt font, double-spaced; there are no hard guidelines for auto-rejections, but understand the basics of professional manuscript formatting.

Original fiction: 7,500 – 15,000 words. The sweet spot is 7,500 – 10,000 words.

Accepted genre(s): Dark sci-fi and all blended sub-genres (horror, fantasy, etc.)

Payment: $0.10 / word (ten cents per word) capped at 5,000 words, and a contributor copy of each edition published (hardcover, paperback, and eBook). So, $500 per story. For collaborative works, payment will be split equally between collaborators.

Rights: First World Rights in English; all rights revert to the writer immediately upon publication, although 12 months exclusivity is requested, except for inclusion in a personal or “best of” collection published after the anthology. All other rights remain with the author.

Submission window: September 1st – September 30th, 2024 (30 days, ending midnight your time). This gives you from now until the end of September to work on something original. Submissions received before or after this window (unless requested) will be auto-rejected.

Exception: Writers previously published in any Written Backwards anthology may submit work at any time, regardless of the submission window. Basically, alumni are always invited.

Reprints: No.

Instant rejections: stories under 7,500 words, stories over 15,000 words, reprints, excerpts, nonfiction, young adult, poetry (unless personally invited), romance, erotica, gore for the sake of gore, violence for the sake of violence, works that contain hate speech or discrimination of any kind other than to fight against such horrible things, and any writing influenced by A.I.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

All submissions will be checked for the use of artificial intelligence in their creation using detection software and will be automatically rejected if found to include influence. Likewise, any who submit such material will be banned from future submissions to Written Backwards anthologies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please notify if your submission is accepted by another venue. Please only submit one manuscript at a time and wait for a non-acceptance (rejection) prior to submitting again, with no more than 2 submissions total.

Illustrations: Similar to previous Written Backwards titles, accepted stories may include illustrations. If an artist is used, they will be paid professional rates and the use of A.I. will not be allowed,

Publication: 2025 (to be determined).

Formats: Hardcover, paperback, and eBook.

Due to the number of submissions anticipated (typically 1,000 – 1,500, sometimes as high as 2,500), non-acceptances will be announced by way of a form response as quickly as manageable.

Allow up to 3 months before inquiring about a submission. For submissions that reach the “maybe pile,” additional time for consideration will be requested until the anthology is full.

HOW TO SUBMIT

Email  with the story attached (.docx, .doc, .rtf only; no PDF). Feel free to include a short bio and information about your particular demographic (representing the underrepresented is a passion of the editor), but no other information is needed.

OTHER INFORMATION

Please do not use this opportunity (as many have in the past) to query about other potential projects. Written Backwards is not open at this time to fiction collections, poetry collections, novellas, novels, anthology ideas, or any other projects.

Written Backwards has always highlighted the work of a diverse cast of writers from around the world and will continue to do so, which is why this anthology will open for submissions and will pay professional rates. While not many like the term “literary,” that is what this anthology is looking for: groundbreaking work that break normal conventions and will stand the test of time, propelling emerging and undiscovered writers into the mainstream.

If unfamiliar with previous Written Backwards anthologies that blend science fiction with other genres, it is highly recommended to read previous titles, such as Prisms and/or Adam’s Ladder (co-edited by Darren Speegle), Miscreations: Gods, Monstrosities & Other Horrors (co-edited by Doug Murano), the original You, Human, any of the books in the Chiral Mad series, or the Qualia Nous series. Familiarizing yourself with these works will better your chances of landing a spot in You, Human, Vol. 2.

All accepted works will meet active membership requirements for organizations such as the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), the Horror Writers Association (HWA), and others.

Similar to previous Written Backwards anthologies, all contracts protect the writer.
