Frozen Fairy Tales Anthology Open to Submissions

3/6/2015

Frozen Fairy Tales, Kate Wolford, Enchanted Conversation, World Weaver Press, Call for Submissions
We're pleased to announce a call for submissions for the latest project that teams Enchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine editor, Kate Wolford, with World Weaver Press: Frozen Fairy Tales. Kate Wolford's previous WWP projects include Krampusnacht: Twelve Nights of Krampus and Beyond the Glass Slipper: Ten Neglected Fairy Tales To Fall In Love With. 

Call for Frozen Fairy Tale Submissions:

In the bleak midwinter, the call of fairy tales can be especially irresistible. After all, fairy tales both take us out of our humdrum world and into the possibilities of what can be--or maybe even is. A fairy tale read in winter can help us dream through the the cold days and nights.

Yet, surprisingly few fairy tales are specifically set in winter. With Frozen Fairy Tales, we're hoping to remedy that.

In a joint venture between World Weaver Press and Enchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine, we're opening up to submissions for a fairy tale collection set in winter. Details are below.

1) You must be 18 or older to submit.

2) Submissions must be in English, but submissions from all over the world are most welcome.

3) No stories connected to the movie Frozen will be considered. It's a great movie, but this anthology is not at all about that film.

4) Stories centered on winter holidays are most welcome, but stories do not need to be holiday focused. Krampus-themed stories will be considered, but please do not resubmit stories that were previously submitted for the Krampusnacht anthology.

5) A sense of winter and its perils and possibilities must be part your story.

6) This is a fairy tale collection, which means the sensibility of the stories should evoke classic fairy tales. You do not need to retell famous fairy tales reset in winter, but you may. Nonetheless, the classics have been retold a lot lately, so fresher takes with more originality stand a better chance of being selected, as do retellings of obscure fairy tales. But think winter!

7) Please, no erotica, children's stories, hard-core horror, or sci-fi. This anthology is aimed at an audience age 15 or older.

8) Open submission period: March 6 - May 15, 2015.

9) Length: Under 10,000 words.

10) Submission method: Email cover letter and story to enchantedconversation [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line “Frozen Fairy Tales Anthology – story title.” Cover letter should contain your name, contact info, story’s title, and approximate word count; no need to summarize the story, let it speak for itself. Then paste the full story into the body of the email following your letter. Please make it very clear where paragraphs break — this means if your email doesn’t let you indent paragraphs, you’ll need to put an extra space between each paragraph for submission purposes. Do not send unrequested attachments. Simultaneous submissions = okay. Multiple submissions = no.

11) Rights and compensation: Payment: $20. All contributors will receive a paperback copy of the anthology. We are seeking first world rights in English and exclusive rights to publish in print and electronic format for twelve months after publication date after which publisher retains nonexclusive right to continue to publish for a term. No reprints will be considered. That means only previously unpublished works will be considered.

It's entirely possible I'm blind, but I don't see a deadline for submissions or an estimated publication date; I'm currently working on a story I'd be interested in submitting, but I'd like to know what the timeframe is. Thanks!

Will there be royalties attached as well, or is this just a straight $20 buyout? Sounds like a fun anthology!

There is no fee to submit a story. Writers whose stories are selected for publication will be paid by us in the amount of $20+a paperback copy of the final anthology.

I was wondering - most people think of winter and think snow and ice and blizzards, frozen forests and black ice covering sleeping rivers. But I live in the desert and our winters, while different, have their own dangers. Would stories about desert winters be acceptable?

Yes, winter in the desert or any warmer climes would be fine.

I am very excited about the frozen fairytales! My submission is with my editor, can't wait for you to see it, thanks.

I might be fighting time and fate here, but I found out about this anthology about four days ago which gives me three days to write a story I've had tumbling around in my head for a while.

So I need to know to make every hour count...what time on the fifteenth does the contest close...do I have until midnight???

Until midnight, at least. The editor of this anthology is on EDT for the Eastern US, but I'm sure shell offer some leeway for stories so long as they arrive before dawn on the 16th.

Okay, great, thank you!

Oh, and just for my own obsessive curiosity, when do you estimate we'll know if our stories have made it into the collection...

Thanks!

Submission reading has just begun -- every anthologist has his or her own method of reading submissions and Kate Wolford waits until the submission window closes then reads all stories. We should be announcing the anthology's table of contents in late summer 2015. Everyone who submitted work will (probably) hear back before the end of August 2015.

What does probably mean? Do the rejected stories not get sent rejection letters, or...?

Eileen Wiedbrauk, Editor-in-Chief link

If we stick to schedule (which we probably will) everyone who submitted work will hear back before the end of August 2015. If our schedule is delayed, everyone who submitted work will hear back later than August 2015.

Hi Eileen, was there a good turn out on the story submissions? Are final selections nearing completion? Thanks!

Kate Wolford tells me she had a good selection to choose from. Everyone who submitted should have been received notification. We've made final decisions and should be announcing the table of contents this month!

Hi Eileen,
When will the magazine open for submissions again?

World Weaver Press doesn't manage the magazine Enchanted Conversation, so I can't say for sure. There's talk from Kate Wolford about the possibility of a flash fiction contest on EC later this year, but you'll need to check with EC's website fairytalemagazine.com periodically.
