The Dragons' Beads: A Treasury - accepting anthology submissions

Have you always wanted to be an author? Have you ever wondered how to start down that road? Do you have the courage to show others your work?

THG StarDragon Publishing is gathering submissions from young authors and poets (18 and under) for “The Dragons' Beads: A Treasury.” Each submission should be no more than 10 pages long for short stories, or two pages for poetry submissions. Please make submissions on standard sized (8.5 by 10 in) or A4 paper, or at a similar size in .doc, .pdf, .odt, or .rtf format if submitting digitally.

The theme for the anthology is dragons, so let your imagination run wild... Use them as main characters or supporting characters, good, evil, or in between. Lazy or brave, Western, Eastern, extraterrestrial or from the depths of the sea, we want your dragons! Out of all the submissions, 10 short stories and 10 poems will be selected. THG StarDragon Publishing reserves to right to choose more to fill the book depending on the length of the chosen submissions. Those that are selected will receive a free copy of the book for themselves, and a discount off the cover price if they desire to purchase additional books for their family members. This is a small press, so how well the sales go will determine how soon any possible royalties would be paid.

This will be THG StarDragon Publishing's first anthology by young readers for young readers. Depending on the success, more anthologies may be forthcoming in the future from the press. Editing will be done by Teresa “Amehana” Garcia (author of the ongoing Dragon Shaman series) and Faith Lindgren-Brown (editor for “Dragon Shaman 2” and the forthcoming titles of the series). Cover artist is Victoria “Salaiek Tuarann” Davis, who has also done art for the Dragon Hearts RPG and for “Dragon Shaman 2.”
