CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Zombie Anthology
Working title: Feast or Famine
Publisher: TBD
Deadline: August 1, 2013
Anthology Theme: There are individuals known as survivalists, or now known by the recently coined term: preppers. These people are making preparations to ensure their safety and continued existence in the occurrence of a catastrophic disaster or event. But what happens when the SHTF? Really? You will have a population of have and have nots. Those who were ready and prepared and those who are caught unaware and panicked. The struggle for available resources will be another catastrophic event in and of itself as humans fight to either defend and retain what they have established or to take what others had the foresight to store and prepare.
This is the end as we know it. For some, life and death hinges on acquiring basic human needs, while for others life is good, if not better in accordance with their due diligence.
The Zombie Apocalypse has arrived. Will it be feast or famine?

Oh man I just noticed. It has to be 5000 to 10000 words.
I don’t have anything even close to that.

Let me ask Eve if the word count applies to poetry. I don’t think it does.
You should join the site anyway, you can talk to her about it, and keep up with all things ZOMBIE! I’m there as Shadow Girl ❤

Honey, I just saw this comment!!
Tim does not check out the blog very often, he is on a limited data plan. But, I would love for you to check out some of his stuff to consider for Feast/Famine.
Tim Wood, on FB – he’s friends with me, follows SG, follows Gas Mask Fiend, and started a page dedicated to his stuff… Caveman Poems.
V1P3R accepted him for The Tall Book Of Zombie Shorts, and I love his stuff.
If you see this before I get back on FB, get in touch with him. Otherwise, I’ll get him to you @ ZF!!
xxoo
