For those of you who haven't heard, we are putting together an anthology of short stories to be published on Amazon as an e-book. The theme of the anthology is time travel, specifically the following prompt:
In the spirit of H.G. Well's "The Time Machine," one character or a group of characters travel many years into the future. What do they find there? Are they able to come back home, or are they trapped? What has become of mankind? Is life better or worse? What's the political climate? The real climate? (IOW mother nature) The choices are up to you.
Although your piece can be a character driven story, the prompt was designed to go beyond your characters. free air line tickets What they find in the future should have a larger component that goes beyond their story line, something that affects mankind in general or the planet, as was the case in The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. free air line tickets It gives you a chance to explore society a bit and how your characters react to the changes they witness. Because of this, I suggest free air line tickets the trip to the future be many years into the future, more than likely beyond the lifetime of your characters.
Although submissions are not officially being accepted anymore, if you want to write a story for the above prompt, send me an email and we can probably work something out. msl_007@live.com If nothing else, there might be room for more than one volume under this prompt. My goal is to never turn away anyone who is willing to work with me.
I haven't free air line tickets even read most of the above submissions, so that's the next stage for me. I've had the help of a few volunteer beta readers, and I will continue to rely on them as I go through more of these submissions.
I don't have any plans on rejecting any story as long as the author is willing to work with the team: me, beta readers, and editors. So, to serve as a beta reader means to help directly with the publishing process. Who's game?
