Hello, remain indoors and happy late May.
We are now slightly under 2 months from the ABC deadline, so I thought I'd stick up a reminder and recap the details conveniently in one post. So, to reiterate:
- Word limit is 3000-9000
- Official deadline for submissions is Friday 17th July
- The finished product will be distributed on Draft2Digital and published with their listed partners. It will then be available to download for free.
- General content guidelines are here, a few additional thematic suggestions are here
- I've had a couple of enquiries about copyright, so to sum up: Draft2Digital doesn't acquire the rights to a published work. The book as a whole will be my intellectual property, but the individual stories will belong to their authors. There's a bit more information on their FAQ page here. I'll also be using a standard copyright page with this kind of template:
With the stories listed as belonging to their individual writers.
- Reminder: nothing featuring existing characters or settings that aren't in the public domain. (No fanfiction, in other words.)
- Submissions should be sent to josie.anybutcovidproject@gmail.com. Google docs would be the best format for submissions. Otherwise, just put the text in the email body and I'll sort out the formatting.
Feel free to email me at the above address with any further questions. I'm really looking forward to seeing what people have done!
