Do you think this is doable or not? I’m thinking some short
little pieces, satire, irony, humor, that kind of thing. But a story, not just
a joke.
I have no idea if it’s a good idea or not, which is why I
added the alternative of a flash fiction piece, but one containing some of the
infamous blunders we’ve all gotten so much amusement from, and have gotten so
used to.
The deadline is set way out in June, since I have a whole
bunch of stuff going on early next year and won’t be able to deal effectively
with this until then.
Someone mentioned that they wanted to know what the payment
was (LOL!). I’ll let everyone know what the terms are when I secure a
publisher, but, until then, you can assume the payment is either a contribution
to a charity or a percentage of the take. Since I want short pieces and will, I
hope, be able to accept a lot of them, the pay probably won’t buy you a small
order of fries. Consider the payment your satisfaction on a job well done—and exposure.
We’re writers. We’re used to not making money, right?
Sounds like fun! Thanks.
