A Little More About Reckless Press

I just wanted to release the submission guidelines for any authors and artists that may want to submit during the submission time frame. 

Reckless Press, LTD.

Submission Guidelines

Anthology Submissions:

Must be an original piece of work not published before. Must be in the genre that is being accepted for the issue. The genre for the first issue is Sci-Fi.

Short Stories must be in 12-point font, Times New Roman and 4-12 pages long. Must include title page with authors first and last name, address, page and word count in the right-hand corner. No erotica, we do not accept erotica.

  

Art Work for cover art consideration must be pencil, pen, crayon, and oil pastels. Drawing software can be used as well. Must be original art work (cannot depict a superhero). 4 color art, you can send in the original or a copy, 8x12 only. If you would like your art work returned, please send an SASE. We are looking for interesting Sci-Fi drawings, think 1950’s Sci-Fi style.

There is a $10 entry fee that will go toward printing and editing fees for the anthology. Submissions that are accepted into the anthology, will give the author a chance to submit a manuscript for publication consideration, a copy of the anthology and a 10% discount on additional copies of the anthology. Artists get a copy of the anthology, a chance to submit a manuscript (if they are also a writer), or a chance to submit art for an art book and a 10% discount on additional copies of the anthology. Also artists could get a chance to work on other projects, like cover art for future books, t-shirts, podcast logos, etc. 

Why give us your hard earned $10 just for a chance to be accepted and published in our anthology? Your $10 will go to help artists get recognized and will go to help the community (in the future there will be a contest with prizes, but being the first year and that funds are being raised to get started, I'm going to wait and start next year).

5% of the profits from the sale of this anthology will be going to a charity to be decided later, I'm thinking of picking four charities and then having Patrons and authors vote on the one that they like the most and think would help the community. 

Submissions begin May 8, 2018 and end June 30, 2018 Midnight MST.
