Ten Twisted Tales
Submission Guidelines



The mystery anthology Ten Twisted Tales is seeking submissions of short fiction that features a twist of some sort. Standard mysteries have the best chance for acceptance, but themes are not limited to one genre; for example, the first collection included a romance with a surprise ending. Stories must be tasteful (i.e. not sexually graphic or excessively profane without need). There is no word-count restriction, but preferred length is 1000-5000 words.

We acquire one-time rights to publish stories with all other rights retained by the author. Previously printed stories are acceptable, but authors must mention in which publications the story appeared and state that they still possess publication rights to the story (with rare exception, this is usually the case).

Manuscripts should be typed and double-spaced with author�s name and page number on each page. Send complete manuscript along with a cover letter and SASE to:

Copies of the premiere issue are available and may be ordered for $15.00 each. Click on the cover for more information.
