Fall In Love

Angie Ross graciously invited me to participate in an anthology she's putting together. I read her book, False Security, and really enjoyed it, and I dig her idea, so I'm going to jump on board with a contribution. If you're looking for something to submit to, here's the deal, we'd love to have some solid contributions!

__

Have you ever fallen in love? Have you smiled so much that your heart aches with happiness? Have you been pulled under so completely that you feared you might drown under love’s vicious waves?

Author Angie Ross, along with authors Susan DiPlacido and Kate McGee, invite female authors to tell their fictional stories on love for a short story collection. We are looking for truly innovative stories about realistic and unique female characters falling in love, whether that character wins over the guy, has a torrid affair, or experiences heart wrenching rejection.

If you are an up-and-coming female author and feel you have a story inside you to share with the world, submit approximately the first 1,000 words of your story to angie@angieross.com. Please put “short story submission” in the subject line. All stories must be told from first person point of view and in present tense, and be between 8,000 to 12,000 words. We will select the top stories to join us in this collection. Once the collection is complete, we will seek agency representation and publication of the collection. Thank you and good luck!

I was into it until I reached the part where it's only for women. Maybe I'll submit anyway—how does D. A. Capone grab you?

Good luck Susan. First person, present tense? It's got you written all over it!
