I'm assuming a 100,000 word novel is a litle too long?

 

[CTRandall]

Appreciate the notice. I got a story in just in time.

Cheers for posting this, wish I'd seen it sooner.

They have open submission periods 4 times a year. Go to their website to check it out!

Great they are doing this. Short fiction of 1,000+ words doesn't help us novelists though. Good luck to those it does

Just a bump, I think the latest window started a few days ago.

Ha. I was just working through this and came to the submissions stage. Signed up, and discovered there's a seeming $20 entry fee for the privilege of submitting a story for the Kepler Award.

So it's a lottery that you cannot win.

So it's a lottery that you cannot win

You can submit for publication without being considered for publication, for free.

... why would you do that? what's the point?

Sorry. That should have read, "without being considered for the award". They do pay for publication of your story.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Right... well, that's unnecessarily complicated.

And I'm still not sending in a story.

 

[Cathbad]

Well, I've submitted. A 1,250 word story. Non-award - I can't afford fees!

I've been in a submitting mood: Three submissions to three different publications this month! Maybe one of them will be chosen?

Just bumping up this thread. They now pay pro-rates as per SFWA (U$ 0,08 a word) and are open on the 1st and 2nd of every month. They also provide feedback, but you must ask for it. PSA: this is not meant to be diplomatic critique, so be ready to read some ranting on your story!
