Novelist Vincent Hobbes is seeking short stories for an upcoming project which will feature a compilation of strange and bizarre stories. His publisher is currently accepting submissions from any author interested in having his or her work published in a novel.
Manuscripts being accepted will include anything from the following fiction genres:
Horror
Supernatural
Science-fiction
Fantasy
Psychological thriller
Mystery
Requirements: Word count may be anything from 1,500-30,000 words. We are seeking stories that are original and not previously published. Interesting storylines with a preferable twist at the end to captivate the reader is desired. Think Twilight Zone. All stories must be tasteful-not overly gory, no inappropriate sex scenes, or an over use of profanity.
All submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:
Single-spaced
12-point font, Times New Roman
Cover sheet must be included with all proper contact information
Whether you are a new author seeking to promote yourself, or simply someone who wants your family and friends to read your story in a published and widely distributed piece of literature, this is a rare opportunity to have your name and story published.
You may submit your story via mail or electronically. Details are as follows:
If mailed, send copy to:
Hobbes End Publishing, LLC
Attn: Short Story Submission
P.O. Box 193
Aubrey, TX 76227
*Please also include a disk. Microsoft Word. A hard-copy is not required, but definitely appreciated. Please include a SASE if you desire your material returned if rejected.

Attn: Short Story Submission (subject line)
Deadline is October 1st, 2008
Terms: Full rights, both printing and media, will be purchased outright for
$100.00 per story. Therefore, it will be un-publishable elsewhere without

terms, please do not submit your work for this project. Also, the best story
will receive a bonus from the publisher.

Writers, please don't submit your stories to this anthology. Never, EVER sell all rights to a story. If you think it's okay, look at the lawsuits throughout publishing legal history where some poor writer sold all rights to a story for a tiny amount and the publisher sold the rights to a film or media company. DON'T DO IT. There are plenty of other markets out there, and $100 just isn't worth it.
You're right, writers need to think long and hard before they sell all rights.
