Each story must somehow involve coffee as a major plot element. It’s not enough if an unrelated story is set in a coffee shop. I will also consider a few TEA stories as well. These stories must feature an element of the fantastic (fantasy, SF, light horror). No literary fiction please.
For the moment, I will only consider reprints. If you published a story that you feel might fit the theme, please e-mail it to me at ufopublishing at gmail dot com. Please include information as to where and when it was first published, and confirm that the rights have reverted to you.
Pay: $0.01 per word plus one contributor copy of trade paperback and ebook
Rights: Non-exclusive English worldwide print and electronic publishing rights.
Length: Up to 4000 words. Flash (500-1000 words) especially welcome.
Policies: Simultaneous and multiple submissions are both OK. Since these are reprints, I may take several months to respond as I won’t be holding the stories hostage and away from being considered elsewhere. I will be reading submissions until the book is filled, but no later than until end of summer. I will post a more detailed time frame soon.
Note: There is some possibility that I’ll solicit Original material for this book in the future. However, at the moment please send reprints only.
