A good friend of mine is also a writer (Zachary O'Shea. Check out his site: http://lastslicestudios.com/). He has been submitting his work to various publishers for years. A little over a month ago I happened to see a post of his about a call for writers from Siren's Call Publications. http://www.sirenscallpublications.com/
I answered the call.
The original post was for a short story anthology called "First Hand Accounts". All submissions have to be horror stories written in the first person perspective. Thanks to the Undead Wars, I have a substantial amount of experience with that style so I figured I would give it a shot. I've completed my first draft and will be submitting the story as soon as I finish my second draft. I always go back and flesh out my stories and add details in my rewrites.
While checking out the submission guidelines, I happened to see another open submission call for the Halloween edition of their bi-monthly ezine. I went into my writing folder and pulled out an old short story, made a few edits and submitted it.
It was Accepted! My first official publication! To say that I'm excited is quite an understatement. I know that writing is something that I will be doing for the rest of my life and it's thrilling to know that others will be reading my work and (hopefully!) enjoying it.
I'll be posting more soon.
