Screaming Dreams

Screaming Dreams Publishing, a new, small, independent publishing imprint based in Merthyr is due to publish the Black Sheep Anthology next year, edited by Mark Howard Jones and Christopher C Teague. Screaming Dreams is looking for author interest and story ideas for the anthology.

The guidelines for authors are:

  • You must be a Welsh–born author, or at least be currently living in Wales on a permanent basis. And no, visiting Porthcawl for a day trip doesn’t qualify you to submit.
  • The story must have a Welsh connection. For example, the location could be set somewhere in Wales, or one (or more) of the characters could be Welsh, or the tale could be based on old Welsh myths and legends.
  • It must also have an element of fantasy, sci-fi or horror as the main theme. It can be serious or funny, that’s up to you.
  • Try to avoid too much romance or detailed sexual encounters. Keep more to the fantasy/sf/horror side of things if you can.
  • Length should ideally be between 2000 - 5000 words and you are only allowed to submit one story at a time. Please send in *.rtf format.
  • All work must be new and unpublished.

Please do not send manuscripts in just yet Screaming Dreams is currently only looking for author interest and story ideas.
