opportunities: Orca Books





Have you written fiction too long for a short story and too short for a novel? Orca Books of Victoria, BC publishes that kind of thing in its Rapid Reads series. Here are their guidelines:   


-Plots should involve contemporary, straightforward stories using a linear narrative format (little or no use of flashbacks) and the action should take place over a relatively short time frame.

-12,000—20,000 words

-Written in simple language with limited use of complex sentences and multiple clauses.

-A small cast of characters is most effective.

-Your initial submission should include a brief synopsis, a sample chapter, a detailed chapter outline and an author biography.

-Send submissions to the attention of Ruth Linka, Associate Publisher.


Orca Books is also open to submissions of non-fiction and of various kinds of books for children and young people. More info at:
