Kevinswatch Anthology 4: Again

Post by aTOMiC »

Okay guys. Now that the holidays are over and there is no pressure, how about we give Anthology 4 another try.

PM me or post here if you are interested and we'll make plans based upon the response.

Last year didn't feel right without an Anthology. :-)

Also this time we'll take a look at promoting the book outside of the Watch.

Not again!
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion


I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Maybe submissions would pick up if we started a rumor that Joy's back as editor....

I refuse. But only because I've already submitted. :mrgreen:

I will do my best. This past year was very trying. As some of you know, i own a couple businesses and have been working pretty hard, as well as dealing with some other issues that have limited my PC time, ie the watch.

That being said, I have several writing projects I need to get going on -- I need to finish the last installment of "Set Aside" to put closure to that project, and work on my new short story to submit to CB (as I promised Joy 8 months ago). I will also try to submit a piece to the anthology. :)

Okay Tom, I've finished Coronation Day; do you want it, even though I've sent Shell? They're both independent stories, though based in the same universe. They're also quite different in tone and what they present, so you could have a back-to-back Foul Feature in your book. ;)

Hey guys! Sorry I've not been paying attention to KW lately. I was laid off of my job about a week ago and have been very distracted emotionally. I'm feeling better this week though. I'm hopeful a job will present itself soon.

LF, there's nothing wrong with submitting multiple stories and there's nothing against more than one story by any one author being selected.
We can use all we can get. :-)

Iquestor, I totally understand your situation. In any case we would appreciate whatever you can do to participate.

Hierachy, we would be honored if you would submit something.

null, there's no reason to believe your stories will be rejected. Let's have 'em.

aliantha, your being the editor has no negative impact on the Anthology. If anything we're excited and would love to see what you will do with it.
What WILL generate enthusiasm is exposure. If we can get the Anthologies mass marketed it would be much more exciting. I will work on the possibilities.

Oh sure. You're just saying that so you don't have to go out and find another editor. ;)

Agreed about the mass marketing. And jeez, TOM, sorry about the layoff. Totally understandable that you'd have, y'know, other things on your mind right now.... Hang in there -- something will turn up. |G

Is the Anthology a collection of short stories, poems, etc. by Watchers?

Are there genre/topic/form restrictions/guidlines? If so, just point me to the link/post, please.
