Hi Everyone. We all love to read but perhaps some of you love to write as well. Would you like to have a story of yours published? Please check out this notice from RJ Scott that she asked us to pass on from her and Love Lane Books.

Ever so often I want to give a chance to new authors, and those with maybe only two books or so, to get a short story out in a free anthology. Love Lane did this with a Christmas Anthology nearly 2 years ago, and it was lovely to see loads of new authors write for the first time. It’s also a good way to have newbies finding out more about the publishing process. I know of three of those authors who went on to have novels published which was awesome to see.
LLB doesn’t make money – this is all done for free… we run it as a project, matching volunteer editors to writers, we also do the cover art.
Open Call for free anthology – Male/Male romance Valentines
 |
| Our Christmas 2013 Antho |
When I went to UK Meet last weekend I spoke to one of the authors who took part in the antho of short stories that Love Lane created Christmas 2013. The author is now writing for a publisher and said he’d felt so proud when a publisher included his story in the anthology. He’s now a published author and I couldn’t be prouder.
I also talked in the fan fiction discussion to two aspiring authors. We decided that sometimes to get over nerves it’s all about learning how to create, polish, submit, and publish.
At LLB we’re all about sharing the love, and as such I think I’d like to do another project like this to give authors the chance to create a short story to be included in a new authors male/male romance anthology out Valentines Day, 2016.
These are the details:
The finished anthology will be available FREE to everyone and released on All E-Romance on or around Valentines Day 2016. Love Lane will provide a cover. Editing is the responsibility of the author. There is no financial payment for any of this work.
This call is open to any new and aspiring author. Also to any author with, up to and including, two published stories.
The closing date for fully completed and edited submissions is 31 December 2015.
The story should be a short story – 3,000 to 6,000 words based around Valentines Day.
Sign up for more information which will be sent out when we have your email from the form.
