Hey Space Cadets, how’re you doing?  I’m good, working on finalizing the edits on a short story and starting writing my super secret book.

Anthology Submission

Standard

Hello Space Cadets, how are you today?  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, mine was a busy one.  My wife is studying for her exams so my sons and I are having boy time!  We will play some Halo, go for a walk, play backgammon and generally goof off.  Today I wanted to remind you of an opportunity to get published in an upcoming anthology with Tickety Boo Press Ltd..  These stories must be about the Roswell Incident, where a supposed alien crashed, the Area 51 Conspiracy or anything else you can come up with to link into the theme.  If you have questions, go on over to their site and ask away!  The deadline is February 28th, 2017 and the story should be in the 2-5k range.  Hope this finds you well, and serves as your big break!!  If you do submit, and it gets picked up, come on back and we can share in the good news together!!  Just click here and you’ll be able to read the submission guidelines!  Interviews and free press from all of my imaginary friends in the audience!

Another Short Story Call

Standard

Hello Space Cadets, I wanted to spread the word about another submission call from Tickety Boo Press.  They’re seeking to release another science fiction anthology, with each individual short story being between 2-5k words.  The title of this one is Space- The Zeborian Singularity, and has some interesting possibilities!  I plan on entering both of the open anthologies that Tickety Boo has running, and encourage other noob writers to try as well!!  If it sounds right up your alley, check out their post and get to writing!
