I think this...Thanks again for posting this, Lynn. I think this is a great opportunity for a lot of new female authors. The publisher has noticed that his submissions from women have a unique take on horror that is very exciting. The first Library of the Living Dead Press/Library of Horror anthology was about zombies, a genre dominated by men (except for that fabulous novel "The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan and, of course, my trilogy) and he had some really great short stories be submitted by first time female authors. One of the authors asked if he would do an all female anthology and he loved the idea. And for any men out there, he has a lot of other anthologies in the works that are open to everyone. You can check out the forum postings here: http://libraryofthelivingdead.lefora.com/forum/<br /><br />Thanks again for helping to spread the word!<br /><br />--Rhiannon FraterRhiannon Fraterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884113621201620171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-62039101675669560462009-05-14T19:00:00.000-04:002009-05-14T19:00:00.000-04:00That is an interesting point though.

Whilst I for one would be very interested to read a horror anthology composed entirely of female authors (and I suspect I'm not alone there, there's a definite market justification for such a title), I can't help but wonder what the response would be like should a publisher put forward a similar proposal stating they were looking only for male authors.<br /><br />I suspect the conversation that followed such an announcement may well be far less reasonable ;)Fraterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952584550810059684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-5466915020690046402009-05-14T18:57:00.000-04:002009-05-14T18:57:00.000-04:00It is an interesting point though, isn't it?

I for one would be quite interesting in reading a horror anthology with a completely female author-base, would be quite interesting I feel (and I suspect many others will feel the same, there's definitely a market justification for such a title).<br /><br />I can't help but wonder though, what sort of response an announcement like this would gather if it were all male authors they were looking for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-10994423840365711092009-05-14T17:15:00.000-04:002009-05-14T17:15:00.000-04:00Rhiannon, thanks for the clarification.

A female writer actually suggested this to the publisher. The publisher's goal is to show everyone that the female voice can have a strong presence in horror. <br /><br />RhiannonRhiannon Fraterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884113621201620171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1863007559866982762009-05-14T11:31:00.000-04:002009-05-14T11:31:00.000-04:00okay, way off topic but I thought of you when I re...okay, way off topic but I thought of you when I <A>read this. </A>Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-82683187983954857342009-05-14T10:59:00.000-04:002009-05-14T10:59:00.000-04:00Penny per word.
