Short Story opportunity

The following message is from Kamloops author Alex Mcgilvery. Thanks. Alex.

 

Hi Elma, could you pass this on to the IAG? A friend has a publishing house and puts out anthologies about 4 to 6 times a year. Here's the link to the latest open submission. Casia is a reputable publisher, there is no fee to submit and no forced sales of the book. Royalties are shared between authors and publisher.

Hello Colleagues

 

I suspect you are already familiar with this new agency but I thought it may be of interest to you.

 

I encourage you to educate Mr. Wente about your successes and endeavours if you haven't already.
