Dear All,

A fellow writer/editor, Jennifer Feddersen just e-mailed with an urgent call for submissions. If you have romance short stories steaming up your drawers ( er — not meant suggestively, of course ;-)), you should consider sending something in:

I’m looking for a holiday-themed (Christmas) short romance story to use as a holiday promotion for AudioLark Audio Books. Here are the details:

AudioLark is looking for 5 – 10,000 word Christmas-themed romance short stories:

What: Your 5 – 10,000 word holiday-themed (Christmas) short story should be original, unpublished, romantic, fun, sexy but mainstream with a happily-ever-after (or at least for now with the feeling it will be ever-after) ending. This short story will be used in a promotion and should be appropriate for a wide, mainstream audience.

When: Deadline is Nov. 15. We will be working very quickly on this. Expect contract and payment to go out Nov. 16 and the book produced as an audio book before December 1st.

How much: Payment is a one-time payment of $100 for audio rights. We would like this story to be an AudioLark exclusive for this holiday season. If you want to publish it in print/epublish/self-publish after January 1, 2011, that’s fine.

What else: Book and author will receive heavy promotion, a write-up on the AudioLark blog and website, and an opportunity to post links to their author website.

Any questions? Please ask!
