“The Best of Singapore Crime Fiction” is an anthology of short crime writing that will be published by Monsoon Books (Singapore) in the second half of 2010.
For this anthology, we are looking for stories of 2,000 to 10,000 words. The stories must all be about crime, in any form. The stories must also be set primarily in Singapore, though there may be short side trips to other places to get the story told.
We are looking for good, solid writing that connects to the readers and keeps them tied to the story from the first sentences to the last.
Payment will be set according to royalties, divided between all the writers in the anthology.
All stories and inquiries should be submitted krimi.sing@gmail.com. All submissions should arrive by April 10, 2010.
Nyaaaaaa~~ Sarah can’t write crime at all! Except for those that have to do with stealing one’s heart!
“The Best of Southeast Asian Erotica” volume is the follow-up volume to the highly successful “The Best of Singapore Erotica” published by Monsoon Books (Singapore) in 2006.
For the new anthology, we are looking for stories of 2,000 to 5,000 words that address the themes of sex or sensuality. Unlike the first book, this second volume will be looking for stories based in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines as well as Singapore.
The editor and publisher stress the fact that this is erotica, not pornography. The stories must be well-written, original pieces that look at sex and sensuality. (The first volume even had a few stories in which there was no actual sex presented, but only longing and fantasy.)
And to answer a question that we heard while compiling the first erotica volume: Yes, the characters involved can actually be married to each other. Sounds a little perverse, of course, but we believe that even married couples can engage in engaging erotica.
All submissions should be sent to eroscope2@gmail.com. Deadline for submissions is April 10, 2010.
So there you go! Remember April is the deadline and you guys should email them for more info if anything.
Doesn’t look like Monsoon’s website has been updated in a long, long time. Am I looking in the wrong place or is there no info on the site re this competition?
Nope! It’s not on their website! Info was spread through other means of mailing lists instead.
