TALEBONES
URL: http://www.nventure.com/talebones
Email Address: talebones@nventure.com
Editors: Patrick & Honna Swenson
Writer's
Guidelines
Critiques rejected manuscripts: Occasionally
Rights: First North American Serial Rights
Looking for: Fiction and Poetry. SciFi and Dark Fantasy
(rather than straight extreme horror)
Length requirements: Maximum 5,000 words. Query for longer
Size of website:35 pages
Payment: Fiction: one cent a word
Poetry: one cent a word, 5 cents a line, minimum $5, maximum $10
Art: $40 cover, $10 -15 interior
Comments: The TALEBONES subtitle is "Fiction on the
Dark Edge." Good strong stories with three dimensional
characters are a must, but with a "dark" slant. What do
we mean by dark? One interpretation might be: dark fantasy as
opposed to horror...meaningful science fiction as opposed to hard
science stories without heart. Pyschological. Experimental. Black
humor. Something with punch that leaves us thinking, but keeps us
entertained. Just send your best stuff. If a story really hits
us, We'll publish it without hesitation, regardless of
guidelines. As a general rule, we don't buy vampire fiction,
straight slash/hack horror, deal with the devil, revenge, cat, or
writer stories
Poems should be dark, moody, and evoke a strong emotional
response in the reader. Again, no straight horror, blood and gore
How To Submit: We accept submissions in three manners: in
hardcopy by postal mail, on disk by postal mail, and through
email as an attachment. Specific requirements apply to each
method. (Note: all art/photo submissions should be sent in
hardcopy by postal mail until further notice.)
Hardcopy Postal Submissions
Refer to "Submission Format" above for further details.
Include an SASE (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelop) of manuscript
size with sufficient attached USA postage or equivalent IRCs to
return the manuscript. Don't guess! Take it to the post office to
be weighed and purchase accurate postage. Do not send submissions
by registered or certified mail. Alternatively you may use a #10
envelope SASE for our response only and mark your submission as
"disposable," indicating the same in your cover letter.
Hardcopy postal submissions with improper or missing SASEs will
not receive a response.
On-Disk Postal Submissions
Your submission must be sent on a a 3.5 inch PC/DOS-environment
compatible disk/diskette. Your manuscript should be saved twice
on the disk: once as a plain text ASCII file and once in one of
the approved formats: MS Works, MS Word, Wordperfect, Windows
Write or RTF (Rich Text Format). The last of these formats, RTF,
is by far the most common cross-application word processor
formats. If you cannot save your manuscript in one of these
formats, then save it twice in ASCII format (ie, STORY-1.TXT,
STORY-2.TXT). Use a postal service approved disk mailer that is
resealable. Instead of including an SASE, include a label with
your address and sufficient postage for return of the disk in the
same mailer. Alternatively you may use a #10 envelope SASE for
our response only and mark your submission as
"disposable," indicating the same in your cover letter.
Hardcopy postal submissions with improper or missing SASEs will
not receive a response.
E-mail Attachment Submissions
Attach your submission in TEXT-ONLY format to an email to be sent
to talebones@nventure.com. Use the body of your email letter for
your cover letter. If you have difficulty with attachments to
email, you can place you sumission in the body of the email
following your cover letter. In the subject line put
"SUBMISSION". Response to email submissions will be by
email in return.
Postal submissions should be mailed to the magazine's physical
address at
