Print: For Writers

TO HELL + BACK: A DESTIEL ANTHOLOGY IS NOW LIVE ON INDIEGOGO.   '''PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISTRATIONS AND SAMPLE SUBMISSIONS FOR ARTISTS CLOSED ON OCTOBER 12, 2019. PLEASE VIEW OUR FINAL LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS TO TO HELL + BACK: A DESTIEL ANTHOLOGY HERE''' SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER HERE TO STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE PROJECT!
 * You can register as a writer or an artist, but not both.
 * For ease of coordination, we will only be accepting individual writers to the print version of the anthology. You may not co-write. This is strictly due to avoid an unnecessary burden on your artist, who is to be your main collaborator and partner. However, we will accept co-written short fics to the digital exclusive, so if you are interested in choosing to work specifically with another creator, we strongly encourage you to apply there! PLEASE NOTE: the originally planned "digital exclusive" e-book and the print book have now been combined into a single print publication. More information available here.
 * Fics must be a maximum of 6000 words, with a minimum of 1200 words for the print anthology.
 * Your fic must be brand-new and may not be published anywhere else, either previously or until 4 months after the anthology is shipped. We want this to be anthology-only content until the books are in the hands of all of our supporters and contributors, so please respect this rule! We will link all contributors’ Tumblr/AO3/etc./up to three social media platforms of your choice in the anthology.
 * Each writer will write one fic for the anthology only.
 * RPF is not allowed, since we want to keep this specifically a DeanCas anthology.
 * NSFW content is absolutely welcome but must be tagged for any triggering content (non-con, MCD, graphic violence). However, we do not accept underage fics (fics with characters who are sexually active before the age of consent because this age is different across the globe; therefore all characters must be legal adults: 18 years old).
 * No series or cliffhangers are allowed for these stories. They must be fully realized one-shots that readers can enjoy.
 * All fics must be beta-read. You may choose your own beta-readers (and credit them during publication) or you can reach out to the mods for a list of beta-readers. Please also note that we plan to have at least 3 rounds of editing (one with your beta, one or two rounds of proof-reading by two or more mods, and then a copy-edit by another mod), so that the final, polished anthology will be the best version of your fic it can possibly be.
 * Please don’t release details of what you’re writing to anyone. We would like all promotion to come from us, and we have scheduled sneak-peeks and audience engagement to keep the momentum going.
