A market for horror writers - Cutting Block Press Horror Library Vol 5
Thought you lovely horror writers might be interested in this market:

They pay 1.5 cents per word plus contributors copy. I'm preparing something but think I might have to beef up the horror a bit first!
Comments
I've just read one of the stories, and in the first few paragraphs the tenses were all over the place, swinging from past continuous to past and back again, possessive pronouns in the wrong place, commas where there should be full stops, too many hanging participles and my favourite bugbear, excessive use of 'was', which leads to too much telling and no showing, and this particular story had no showing at all.
If this is the calibre required, well my gob is truly smacked, because we have a rash of great horror writers on here - Lou, Lee, Dorothy, Lily, B-r and even young Pixie pants, to name but a few, that could knock their socks off.
So get writing and send in!
... and Red!
Yes, I got a nice friendly email too. Perhaps to dull the news that it could take 6 months to hear back...
I don't think I'll join any more forums, though. I'm a Talkback girl now!
