Deadline: 30 June 2011
Archangels. Guardians Angels. Cherubim. Angels of death, wrath, vengeance, love, peace, and hope. Fallen Angels. Nephilim. The lore of angels is wide and varied, from battles lost and won to duties fulfilled and failed, from men raised up to their ranks, and angels banished forever from the heavens. They can be fierce warriors and gentle guides, heralds of joy and tragedy. They are beings of fearsome power and the highest of servants.
But what else can angels be? What happens when they soar too high or dive too low? Are they flawless in their servitude or cursed and blessed with free will? Let your mind soar, and bring us your tales of what happens when angels stray off course…
Submission Guidelines
* DEADLINE is JUNE 30, 2011
* Stories should be 15,000—25,000 words, though we’re pretty forgiving if you fall a little short or long.
* There must be a strong angel presence. Any permutation or variation is acceptable, so long as there is a prominent angel component.
* Be creative, be original. We aren’t looking for yet another story of how Lucifer isn’t really all that evil.
About Submitting to LT3 Press
To submit a story to Less Than Three Press, send an email to submissions@lessthanthreepress.com. Include the following in your email:
* Put SUBMISSIONS in the subject line! Emails without this subject line or sent to another email address (for example, the administrator email address) run the risk of not being seen or read, so please, do not forget this!
* Your contact name and preferred email address.
* The approximate total length of the completed story.
* Whether or not your story is complete.
* If your story is not complete, how much longer it will take to complete the story.
* A brief summary of the story, not to exceed approximately 200 words in length.
* Attach the first three chapters or the first 15,000 words of the story in .doc or .docx format.
Please note the following:
* Stories should be a minimum of 10,000 words and should not exceed 200,000 words. At present, we are looking primarily for stories in the 35,000—60,000 range, but we will not discount longer works out of hand. Stories that are 10,000—35,000 will be considered for publishing as ebooks only.
* Your manuscript does not need to be complete at the time of submission to be considered, but if accepted, the story will not be published until Less Than Three Press has a completed manuscript.
* Please do not send queries, outlines, or proposals for stories that you have not yet written.
* Less Than Three Press will not consider anonymous writings or manuscripts currently under submission to another publisher.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send them to editor@lessthanthreepress.com.
If Your Story is Accepted
You must additionally complete the following requirements:
* Editing. Your completed manuscript should include editing and revisions. Editing includes grammatical and contextual corrections.
* Chapters. Your completed manuscript needs to be broken down into sections ranging from 5,000—6,500 words (10-15 pages). However, if the story absolutely requires something else, Less Than Three Press is willing to work with the author to determine the proper way to proceed.
