Call for Submissions - Well-Crumbed: Morsels from the Moustache of El Bibliobandido
Deadline: 30 September 2012
'Well-Crumbed: Morsels from the Moustache of El Bibliobandido' (in Spanish: 'Bocadas del Bigote del Bibliobandido') is an anthology of short stories written by those of all ages to be published in Winter 2012. ‘Well-Crumbed’ centers around the idea that El Bibliobandido, in haste and hunger, has gobbled down stories, leaving crumbs in his moustache—or perhaps he's left little bits for later. REV- seeks short stories of no more than 5000 words that depart from this notion. Through this anthology, REV- will explore these tasty morsels of fiction. The top dozen or so entries will be published in printed volumes; the top first, second, and third place winning stories will be dramatically reinterpreted and renacted by kids in El Pital, and produced by REV- as 5-minute video shorts in 2013.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
To submit an entry, please send the following information as an email by September 30, 2012:
. A story of no more than 5000 words attached as a .doc or .rtf file. The total size of this attachment should be no more than 1 Mb. Number your pages, and please nclude your contact info (name, email, phone) on each page.
. Your story need not necessarily reference El Bibliobandido because the writing preceding each story will function as a frame tale, contextualizing your story within a larger story and in relation to the other contributions.
. Information about yourself: a resume, CV, 1-3 paragraph bio, etc. Number your pages, and please include your contact info (name, email, phone) on each page.
. Other relvant contextual information about your story.
. Decisions will be made by REV- and announced in Winter 2012. Publications will be printed and produced in 2012. Stories will be included in both Spanish and English (entries should be in English; we will have them professionally translated to Spanish).
. Proceeds from this book go towards supporting bookmaking and storywriting classes in northwest Honduras (near La Ceiba), which is the Western Hemisphere's second poorest region.
