Write Like Hell Volume 3 Submissions
[image error]
We’ve opened up to submissions from the public for the first time ever! If you’re unfamiliar with Sentinel Creatives, we’re an indie publishing and production house based in Cape Town, South Africa. Though our focus is on books and ebooks, we also do audiobooks, and will be doing audio dramas in the near future!
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
While the overarching theme should be Kaiju, we’re looking for less common twists on the genre! That means we’d like you to keep the Pacific Rim stuff for another time, fun as it is. We want to see coal miners in industrial era England uncover some horrific beast, or samurai warriors trying to deal with kaiju in medieval Japan. We have a preference for stories that include horror elements, but that is not a deal-breaker when it comes to volume 3.
Got a Sherlock Holmes v Monsters inspired tale? Let’s see it!
The submitted stories should have a focus on character development, with less emphasis on Hollywood style action scenes. We don’t mind a bit of action, but we’re looking for stories that have heart, not just brawn!
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Send your submissions to: sentinelcreatives@gmail.com with the subject “WLH3 Submission”.
All manuscripts should be sent as a word document. Our preference is for Times New Roman, or another clearly legible text.
Submissions should be between 5,000 and 9,000 words. This is not a hard limit, but preference will be given to those stories that meet this requirement.
Please include a short summary of the story in the body of the email, as well as a short bio and a list of any previously published works.
We’re looking for original works that have not been previously published!
REMUNERATION:
All accepted stories will be paid for up front!
As a small time indie press, our budget is limited! Accepted stories can expect between $10-20.
In exchange, we ask for exclusive rights to publish the story, said rights will maintain for the duration of one year. After that, we retain the non-exclusive rights to the story, but you’re welcome to submit and publish elsewhere after that!
It is likely that we will produce an audiobook version of WLH Volume 3, and we ask for the same rights as the book and ebook rights.
