NEMONYMOUS SEVEN SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
ANTHOLOGY BOOK TITLE:
ZENCORE
Scriptus Innominatus
THE SEVENTH ISSUE OF NEMONYMOUS MAGIC FICTION AND MAGIC REALITY
1. The Nemonymous editor requires a story judged suitable by its author for inclusion in the projected Nemonymous Seven book, whenever that should be published (hopefully May 2007).
2. From 1000 to 8000 words for each story.
3. Payment to author: 50 UK pounds per story published in the printed Nemonymous Seven.
4. Stories should only be submitted from 1st November 2006 until 31 March 2007 anonymously within the body of an anonymous email to bfitzworth@yahoo.co.uk AND nemonymity@excite.com.
5. Neither the anonymous email address or the story itself should give any clue as to the author's identity.
6. The story must be original to the author and never published before in any form. No simultaneous submissions.
7. It is possible that any story will be kept for the whole of the reading period and still not reach the short-list.
8. Fifty stories - all deemed by the editor as theoretically suitable for inclusion in Nemonymous Seven - will be chosen (hopefully by the end of April 2007) as the shortlist. The authors of these fifty stories will then reveal his or her identity only to the Nemonymous editor.
9. Following stage 8. above, the Nemonymous editor will choose, from the shortlist, the final stories to be printed in Nemonymous Seven. All contracted stories, when published, will have their authors' names in a random order at the back of the book and nowhere else in the book. The stories will be correctly assigned to their authors in Nemonymous Eight whenever that should be published (and on the internet no later than six months after the publication of Nemonymous Seven). Any author who does not want his or her name within the book at all will be shown as 'Anonymous' in the random list.
10. The decision of the Nemonymous editor is final regarding all points above.
11. By submitting a story, any author accepts these terms.
12. The Nemonymous editor would be grateful if each author would keep his or her submissions to a maximum of two stories at any one time.
13. Please put 'Nemo Story: Title' as the subject of your anonymous email. Also, if possible, please put word count at the top.
Nemo's Ark: HERE. This is the durable tradition you are attempting to join, by submitting a story.
The past issues of Nemonymous are intrinsically valuable and should continue to increase in value. All five printed issues of Nemo were lovingly produced by the traditional method of a one-off finite print-run, i.e 500 of each issue in total. Please see all the independent reviews linked from nemonymous.com: HERE. These past issues cost £10 each till stocks expire. Equivalent prices for non-UK addresses but with additions for postage. Pay Pal available.
