Samhain Call For Submissions - Tickle My Fantasy Anthology

Samhain Publishing Tickle My Fantasy Anthology Demons, vamps, werewolves, ghosties, ghoulies and things that go bumpin the night. We love to love them, but can they make us laugh, too? I'm very pleased to announce an open call for submissions for a new anthology. I'm looking for contemporary paranormal romances with a strong humourous voice. I'm open to any paranormal creature, but it has to be funny, and it has to be romantic. The anthology will include novellas from 18,000 to 20,000 words in length and will be released individually as ebooks in February 2009 and packaged for a print release the following year. Submissions are open to all authors, published with Samhain or aspiring to be published with Samhain. All submissions must be new material, previously published submissions will not be considered. Additionally, manuscripts previously submitted, whether individually or for past anthologies, will not be considered either. Please beaware that manuscripts submitted to this anthology cannot be resubmitted at a later date unless by invitation from an editor. To submit, please include the full manuscript of 18,000 to 20,000words with a detailed 2 – 4 page synopsis and a cover letter that tells me a bit about you and your background. Submissions are open until May 31, 2008. The final decision will be made by June 16, 2008. Please send your submission to editor@samhainpublishing.com and include Tickle My Fantasy Anthology in the subject line. I'm happy to answer questions about this anthology either on the Samhain Author loop, the Samhain Café, on the Romance Divas forum, or by private email. *permission to forward granted Laurie M.

Editors and Copy Editors Wanted At Sanhaim

Looking for work? Samhain Publishing is looking for content editors and final line editors.

At this time we are searching for motivated individuals interested in working part time (one to two releases a month) as an editor in all genres of romance and erotica. Preference for both positions is given to non-authors or to writers not actively seeking publication/pursuing a career in writing. Anyone accepting a position editing with us will not be eligible for future publication/submission to Samhain as an author.

Duties include but are not limited to reading and responding to submissions, contracting books, editing and finalizing manuscripts, communicating with authors, final line editors, other content editors and Samhain executives about various things such as cover art, excerpts, blurbs, promotion and more.

We are especially interested in finding editors who, once they’ve learned and been with the company for a period of time, would be interested in traveling and attending conferences/giving workshops and talks to RWA groups throughout the year as a representative of Samhain.

Compensation involves both monthly flat fees as well as royalty based pay on ebooks and print books. Residuals are paid on all of an editor’s backlist and pay is monthly.

Interested applicants for the content editor position should email Angela James at Content Editor Employment

For the final line editor (copy editor) position: Copy Editor Employment

Hiring for content editors will be done as I find qualified applicants. I will close hiring once I feel I’ve found a sufficient number of editors. Hiring for final line editors is ongoing.
