Christmas Avenue

One of four anthologies we plan to publish for Christmas.​​

​

Christmas Avenue is an ordinary street in an ordinary town.  It just happens to be named after Christmas. We are looking for festive stories of any genre, about the residents of any one particular house on Christmas Avenue.  The title of your story should be the number of the house, and the subtitle should be the actual title, if that makes sense!

​​​​

About Your Story

​​

• Pick a house number and tell a story about one or more of its residents

• You can also include neighbours as supporting characters

• The story must be themed around the festive season, or Christmas Day itself

• The avenue was built in the early 1990s so your story can be set at any point since then.

• This book is intended for adult readers 

• Each story should be 3000 - 6000 words

• You remain the copyright owner of your story and you are free to publish it elsewhere. More details ​

​

There is no cost for you to submit a story and there is no cost if we choose it for publication.  As an author you will be able to buy as many copies as you like at half-price, enabling you to resell and make a profit.

​​​

Formatting

​

• We will provide a Microsoft Word template for you to use, along with style and formatting guidelines. 

​

Project Rules

​

• No submissions from under 18s for this particular project.

• Your story must be all your own work.

• Your story must not contain anything that is legally questionable or libellous.

​

How the book will be sold

​

• The book will be sold primarily on Amazon.  

• You will have the option to buy as many copies as you like at half price if you choose, which you can resell or give away.

• We ask authors to spread the word among friends and family - after all, they'll want to read your story!
