Hi Writers! We're a group of writers on Steem @steemfiction who self-publish quarterly short story anthologies. We've previously published Voices in the Darkness and Dead Silence.
Now we're looking to add to our stable of writers. We vote on a topic/genre for each anthology and then we all write stories based on that topic/genre.
Writers must be committed to publishing on a quarterly schedule and also to reading and providing feedback to the other writers.
If you're interested, leave a post in the comments below. Please provide links to a writing sample.
Certainly interested in this! What's the typical length of a story that you're looking for, and what kind of a writing sample would you like? :)
Cool! We usually shoot for around a 5,000 word count -- if you want to go over, that's okay too. 10K is the upper limit. Just shoot me anything you have that's in the fiction realm--I already know you are a great non-fiction writer. You can shoot it to me by DM at the Steem movies Discord if you want, or post a link here if you don't mind. We also have a Discord account where we coordinate our efforts.
The bad news is that 1st week of November is our latest deadline for a first draft. The theme is winter holiday: Christmas/Hanukkah/winter solstice/New Year's. Can be any genre, as long as it has a winter holiday theme. I did a Christmas ghost story.

Hi janenightshade
I was about to ask a barrage of questions all of which are answered in your reply to modernzorker.
I can only direct you to my blog as anything longer is in a potential book that is still in the pipeline. Most of my posts are around 1200 words but writing longer will not be a problem. Many of them are fiction.
I live in South Africa so when you say winter holiday and mention Christmas that is blazing heat and sea and sand for me.
Can I write about winter holidays in which I have been on safari - Namibia, Zimbabwe and so forth or do you specifically want Christmas time?
The due date is manageable.
Thanks to Giant Bear for alerting me to your project.
No it just has to be a traditional winter holiday from a northern hemisphere perspective-- Christmas, winter solstice, Hanukkah etc. Christmas in blazing heat is fine.
