Bloody Parchment?

WormHeart · Oct 23, 2013

Hey all.

I'm considering sending in a short story to the Bloody Parchment 2013 anthology, but have a hard time figuring out if it is a major thing, a minor thing or invisible on the big markets.

It's a South African annual anthology series, and I like the idea - I'm just wondering how much exposure a text will actually get from participating?

Any guesses?

There's a thread about this in Paying Markets. Not a whole lot of information yet.

Bloody Parchment is the real deal, as is Nerine Dorman the editor.
Go on Amazon and you can see the Bloody Parchment anthologies for sale.

I was published in the most recent one, Bloody Parchment:The Root Cellar and other stories. Nerine Dorman is a fantastic editor to work with and is very well known within the speculative fiction writing community. She is also a multi-published author in her own right.

In addition to editing Bloody Parchment each year for the SA Horrorfest, she is one of the editors at Dark Continents publishing (http://darkcontinents.com) and runs their Tales of Darkness and Dismay imprint. She's is editing their forthcoming anthologies "Dark Harvest" and "The Sea".

Great - congratulations on the anthology

It turned out my stories were too long, so I didn't participate this year - maybe next year.

And thank you for the recommendations - that's public service.
