Spring Submission Window

[shadowhawk2008]

It is now open ladies and gentlemen!!!!

http://www.blacklibrary.com/Getting-Sta ... brary.html

Just to reiterate it starts today and ends on July 31 sometime.

I think it would be a good idea to maintain a list of people who are submitting in this window and how many shorts/novels they are submitting as well. What do people think?

I myself am submitting at least three short stories, all with space marines, although featuring different chapters. Plan is for perhaps two more short stories. I might take a stab at a novel as well although that is not on the cards really at this point.

[MisterEd]

Good Idea.

Mister Ed: Three Short Stories (2 xImperial Guard, 1x Space Marine.)

I may have another two, but I'll update closer to the end of the submissions window if I do.

[Firefox]

Can we have a link in the first post?

Cheers!

'preciate it

[David Earle]

Current plans: 1 short story, definitely. 1 novel pitch if I feel it's up to snuff.

[Firefox]

Probably the same as David. A novel pitch is a balls-load of work.

[G Thunderhammer]

Right now I'm polishing and polishing and polishing and polishing and.......

One novel manuscript. I have plans for a short story or two but right now this is all I am working on for submission.

[shadowhawk2008]

Updated.

[schaferwhat‽]

I've had a somewhat unproductive April so "tightening the ideas up into workable things" hasn't really progressed as far as I'd have originally hoped, there is a reasonable chance of one of the two novel ideas I got sort of planned outish becoming worthy of submitting and I have about a dozen things in motion short story wise (with a set of new ideas not mentioned in that which is just a page of my work notebook).

So realistically 3 short stories and one novel sub I'd be happy with. I'd be very happy with more mind but actually matching the two short stories I managed last year and managing to equal how far Bride of Kharn has gotten so far would make me ridiculously happy.

[Chun the Unavoidable]

I'll be submitting a novel pitch.

[Duke_Leto]

Does anyone know whether your manuscript should be single or double spacing? Obviously we have been told it needs to be 12pt Times in MSWord format.

P.S. Novels = 0 Short Stories = 2

I am keeping to the default settings in Word 2007 which are not double spaced (that is more used for colleges so the TAs/professors can edit in between lines and isnt relevant to this is my understanding).

And updated.

[Tyrant]

I'll be sending off one novel and six short stories tomorrow, then trying to come up with new ideas.

[Tyrant]

Also, don't double-space. This was asked before, if he wanted that he would have asked for it.

[Raziel4707]

Current plan is:

1 Novel, 8 Short Stories, time and annoying children permitting.

[Erunanion]

I will be sending off a novel submission and one, hopefully two, short story submissions.

[Mossy Toes]

I have 6 short story submissions, currently. I may winnow out one or two as I finish fleshing them out.

[shadowhawk2008]

Updated! Let me know about any changes guys!

[Chun the Unavoidable]

I find it vaguely worrying that they specify no more than six pages for the chapter breakdown... I get mine over in one! Most of the detail is in the synopsis, with the breakdown basically being bullet points. Am I missing something here?
