Anthology | Cathy C. Hall Writes

What can I say about the Market of the Month?

How about…

1. It’s kinda late.

2. It’s an anthology looking for humorous submissions.

3. It’s about Monster Mashups.

I’m a big fan of mashups (where you take two of something, like a song, and mash it together to make a whole of something). I’m a big fan of humor. And, I’m a big fan of horror. So when I saw Groanology, it spoke to me. And what it said was, “Cathy C. Hall, here’s your crazy market of the month. Finally!”

Fortunately, I’ve got a little time on my hands to write this story. I need two monsters and a humorous plot. And I need to keep the witty words short (1200 to 3200) and turn them in by June 1st.

So, there’s your Market of the Month, finally. What have you got to say?

When I was looking for the Market of the Month, I came across a note I’d made about Flashlight Memories. But alas (and alack, even), submissions are due by March 15th! Technically, that would be a Market for the Half-Month.

But why should I let a few days keep you from submitting to a delightful anthology? Especially one by my friends over at Silver Boomer Books? And most especially for an anthology that’s so dear to my heart.

Flashlight Memories will features poems and prose re: childhood reading. Oh, it makes me smile, just thinking about “A Pickle for a Nickel.” Or the Just So Stories. Or reading in my secret hideout with- you guessed it- a flashlight. In fact, I have so many childhood memories about reading, it’ll be hard to choose just one to write.

So, I have to run. By the time I decide what to write, the month will be half over!
