CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS


Midwest Stories
Submissions are now open for the upcoming 2012 anthology, tentatively titled Sowing Wild Oats.
Word count 500 – 1600.
Deadline: March 2012.

Also in the Works:

North Dakota Stories
If you live or have lived in North Dakota, Shapato Publishing is looking for true, uplifting stories about life in the Legendary State. Tentatively titled, Knepfla Soup is Better the Next Day: Stories of Life in North Dakota (With a Few Recipes Thrown In), word count is 500 – 1600. At this time we have not yet received enough good submissions to make a book. Submissions will remain open. 


This is a small publishing company, so compensation at this time is minimal ($10-20 per essay) for the anthologies. However, if your story is chosen for publication you will also receive a short author bio to be included at the end of your story, as well as one free copy of the book. Authors may also purchase as many copies of the book in which their work is published at wholesale price, which is generally 40% off the retail price. And you'll have the publishing credit, of course, for your writing résumé!

Other Submissions Accepted:
Fiction or nonfiction. Adult stories and children's stories, as well as children's picture books.
