Call for Submissions

SUCH A LOSS

MacKenzie Publishing announces a call for submissions for an anthology tentatively titled SUCH A LOSS.

Theme: loss (however you want to interpret it).

The stories must be true. Creative non-fiction accepted. Previously accepted stories permitted. No poetry.

Word count: up to 5,000 words (2,500+ preferred).

Deadline: March 31, 2024, or when full.

Submit as a word document, with your name after the title, and attach your bio and promotional links (up to 100 words) at the end of the story.

Each accepted author will receive a complimentary PDF.

Publication date: Early summer of 2024.

Submit to: SuchALossAnthology@gmail.com

No One Should Ever Kiss a Frog

MacKenzie Publishing announces a call for its third anthology, with the title NO ONE SHOULD EVER KISS A FROG.

Theme: “love gone wrong.”

I’m looking for poetry and short stories, not to exceed 3,000 words. One submission per person. Stories/poems can be happy or sad, any genre, but they have to relate in some way to “love gone wrong.”

There is no payment. Just fame! And, hopefully, fun!

I will edit accepted submissions and forward same to each submitter for his/her review prior to publication (summer 2023).

Your submission is an automatic acceptance of these terms.

Accepted authors will receive a PDF copy of the book.

Because there is no payment, I will accept previously published works as long as the rights have been returned. It would be nice for a notation giving credit to the previous publisher (often this is asked for by the previous publisher), but this isn’t mandatory. The onus is on you to ensure you can republish your work.

Deadline: May 31, 2023.

Email your work as a Word attachment to lovegonewronganthology@gmail.com. Add a bio of up to 100 words, with any promotional links you’d like to share. In the subject line of the email put: LOVE GONE WRONG.

If you’d like to check out the two previous anthologies, they’re on Amazon (and other retailers): OUT OF THE CAVE and TWO EYES OPEN.
