Happy New Year! I’m very excited to be kicking off 2010 with a wonderful announcement:

We are now accepting submissions to This Human Condition: A Collection of Flash and Micro Fiction!

This unique anthology will feature a collection of stories ranging from 250-1000 words.  The book will be divided into two sections, each with corresponding emotional themes.

Section One

Love
Joy
Pride
Inspiration
Awe

Section Two

Sorrow
Fear
Grief
Guilt
Disappointment

Petal Pusher Press, the publisher of Saponifier Magazine and my current employer, is sponsoring the anthology.  This means that it will be edited, proofed and then generated by a talented layout designer that who will make this e-Book pop!

As originally planned, the completed eBook will be distributed at no cost to readers through the participating author websites, as well as via download on Amazon.com. Authors who contribute to this project will have to grant Petal Pusher Press limited use of their work, but will retain copyright. 

Because this anthology is designed to assist new authors with marketplace recognition, no payment will be made to any participating author.
