DEADLINE CHANGED
Passion for Horses is rolling along nicely for release in January.
We're looking for about ten short essays that illuminate the theme, passion for horses. The book contains 101 quotes on this theme.
Non-fiction, personal experiences only. You can write about a tribute to a horse you had as a child, a horse that passed away, a horse that taught you a lot about life or an equine professional that had an impact on your passion for horses. You might even simply write a personal essay about your passion for horses. Feel free to use your favorite horse quotes. If your writing about a specific horse, please include a photo of the horse as a jpg attachment.
The essays should be between 500 and 1500 words. Since the essays are short, place them in the body of the email. I'll consider longer pieces if they're exceptional. For longer submissions, attach the files in rtf, doc, or docx format.
The pay rate is 1/4 cent per word (minimum $5.00)We want essays from horse lovers, not necessarily writers so I'll be more lenient on spelling and grammar as long as the story has an emotional truth. But proofread, please. We will edit all submissions.
Send submissions to geckopublishing(at)gmail.com. (Replace at with @ and dot with a period)
Call for submissions remains open until enough submissions are received.
