Being Dad - Call for Submissions. Deadline: May 1st.

Call for Submissions: Being Dad

I'm currently working on an anthology of short stories on the theme of fatherhood. If you're a Dad, and a writer, then I'd be intrigued to hear from you. I'm specifically looking for stories that consider the challenges and trials of modern fatherhood - what does it mean to be a modern father?

Stories from 100-6000 words will be considered, although bear in mind that anything under 2000 or over 4000 will have to work harder to justify its inclusion. Genre fiction is accepted, as long as it's of sufficient quality to be considered 'literary' in some sense.

The anthology doesn't yet have a publisher attached, so I can't make promises on payment. My preference will be for all contributing authors to be paid an equal share of royalties. (If you're a publisher and are reading this - let's talk...)

Email submissions to dancoxon@gmail.com, attached to the email as a Word document. Please also including a brief bio and your previous writing credits in the email. Deadline May 1st, 2015.

Best of luck, dads!
