These Vampires Don’t Sparkle – A Vampire Anthology
At Sky Warrior
Books, we’re not above…well, anything.
Hence, we love Vampires – but NOT the sparkly kind. We’re betting you love vampires too. So, send us your best work on vampires,
original or reprint (must have the rights), of stories 500 to 7000 words in
length. Can be fiction, nonfiction, or
poetry. Sure, we’ll take standard horror
and dark fantasy, but you can be creative.
vampires in space, vampire critters, vampire love stories (uh, no
erotica or sparkles), fantasy vampires, steampunk vampires, vampire humor (a
strong plus), vampires on stakes…well, you get the idea.

How to Submit
or The Nitty-Gritty
We accept RTF
files via e-mail only to the publisher at skywarrior3@gmail.com. Put the words: VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE
SUBMISSION in the subject line with the title of your piece. Send us a virus and we will never accept
anything from you again. Double spaced
manuscript in Times New Roman or some other pretty font (not Courier!). Use italics, not underlines. Have your contact information on the
manuscript including your email address.
Let us know if this is a reprint and from where. Again, be sure you have the rights to reprint
– we won’t chase down permissions.
Fiction, nonfiction, humor, science fiction, fantasy, light horror, dark
fantasy, urban fantasy, etc. No fan
fiction or rip offs of popular vampires and unless you are writing humor – your
vampires must NOT sparkle! And above
all the story MUST HAVE VAMPIRES IN IT.
500 to 7000 words (actual).
Poetry may be less, but must be high quality. Be sure to send us a manuscript free from
spelling/grammar errors.
These Vampires
Don’t Sparkle will be edited by Carol Hightshoe who edited the popular Zombiefied
– An Anthology of all Things Zombie.
