Call for Submissions:The Vampire Tarot Cobblestone Press
Submissions Call In the Cards: The Vampire Tarot The Vampire Oracle, the first Tarot line for Cobblestone Press and the first "line" for print. Throughout the month of June we will release cover images for this series and in turn open up each card to submissions. The first five (out of 25) cards are now open to submissions! Please note that these books will be contracted on proposal! While you can submit proposals for more than one card, you can only be contracted for one story in this series. Deadline for submissions for the first five cards: June 30, 2007 Check back next week for the 5 more cards!

Can't do one for the first five, but oooo...will definitely be looking out for the others!

I believe we'll have one or two cards that will very much appeal to you! 8) We've worked hard to supply cards that will inspire authors across the board.

Just to confirm, MM is okay?

BTW for print purposes have you considered having an mm specific 5? I would be kinda interested in that if you did...

M/M is perfectly fine. In fact, we have designed several cards with that in mind. As for an all male/male anthology-- it is not within our plans. We're just looking at finding the best story for each card... and after we've picked out all twenty-five stories we'll have a better idea as to what the anthologies will look like.

Should your submission to a given card be accepted, what would the deadline be for turning in the completed work? Also, can you tell me if I understand the proposition correctly? What I understand is this: the cards, such as the moon, have a write up with it. What you would expect is a story that somehow reflects that card description?

Never mind my question about what each story should be about, I've found that information. I still can't find where it says what the deadline for turning in the completed work would be though.

5 More Cards are now available.

Heee!!!!!!!!!! Oh, MAN! Oh, if only those were due at the end of July. *cries*

The last set of cards will be due August 1. So there is a month between card release and deadline for proposals. In the proposal- I need a brief but focused outline of the story, then the character profiles, and the first 1k. Most of the proposals packets we've received so far have pushed right at 2k total but I would be fine with 1500 words total.

Hmmm... Given that the proposal is due July 7th, that might be more feasible for me. Heh, I've already got my vamp, when he was turned, where/when he was born; and my mortal (and where/when he was born, his parents, etc). LOL

:-). Of course- all accepted authors will have 3 months to write the actual novella for publication.
