Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome back to Bookmarked!
This week, I wanted to go over a few things related to JCP's 2025 anthologies. Every year, we try to publish two different short story collections, and this year, we have something very special in store.
For the first time ever, JCP will be publishing a Christmas anthology!
Titled Christmas All Year Long: An Anthology of Holly Jolly Tales, the collection will feature short stories from various authors centered around the Christmas holiday.
To submit to this one, your story should be themed for the holiday season and must be fiction. Stories should be between 1,500 and 3,000 words. Authors may submit up to two stories for a fee of $25 per story. Accepted authors will receive three free copies of the collection and may purchase more at wholesale price.
The deadline for submissions to Christmas All Year Long: An Anthology of Holly Jolly Tales is June 30, 2025. Send your submissions to submissions@jancarolpublishing.com.
Now, aside from our brand new Christmas anthology collection, JCP will, of course, be doing our annual Halloween anthology, These Haunted Hills.
This year, we will be releasing our seventh installment, These Haunted Hills: Book 7.
These Haunted Hills has produced six frightening editions since debuting in the fall of 2017. Each anthology is filled with stories that indulge readers' curiosity for the supernatural from an array of accomplished authors. Book 7 is set for publication in autumn 2025.
Stories submitted to the seventh edition of JCP's haunting anthology collection should follow the theme of spooky or supernatural stories set in the Appalachian region. Stories must be fiction and should be between 1,500 and 3,500 words. Please include with your submission a short author bio. Author bios should be no more than 50 words and should be written in third person.
The submission fee per story is $25, and authors are allowed to submit a max of two stories. Again, authors accepted to the anthology will receive three free books upon publication and can order additional copies at wholesale pricing.
The deadline to submit a story for These Haunted Hills: Book 7 is May 31, 2025. Send your submissions to submissions@jancarolpublishing.com. Join the host of talented writers to take part in our most beloved anthology series!
We all can't wait to read your submissions this year and look forward to another exciting year of new short story collections. This Friday on the podcast, Draco and I will be talking about our anthology collections in greater detail as well as submission guidelines and new books we have coming out soon. Be sure to check that out!
Thank you all for reading, and we'll catch you next week!
