Well of the Swan

 

Short Story Anthology Project

Well of the Swan is a short story project run by Affordable Manuscript Assessments.

If this cover and title inspire you, write a short story to fit. Any genre is welcome, but consider a general audience so try not to shock readers out of their blue and pink stockings. 

The rules are:


  • Short story inspired by the picture and title. 
  • Up to 3000 words or so
  • Write in TNR 12 using indented paragraphs and no blank lines below paragraphs.
  • Send to sallybyname @ gmail.com 
  • No one gets paid except the printer. (That includes me.)
  • I'll edit and compile the anthology
  • Rights belong to the authors
  • Authors may if they wish order a copy or several copies at cost, but are in no way obligated to do so.
  • Deadline is December 31st 2021
