The Cedar Canyon Chronicles
Cedar Canyon is a strange place. Residents sometimes vanish, never to be seen again and most people who visit claim they will never go back. There are rumors of vampires living there along with the occasional alien abduction, or witch’s curse being cast, all the way to a possessed grandmother.

Submission guidelines:
Please include a “monster” in your story. Ghosts, monsters, paranormal, aliens, witches, psychological, zombies, backwoods-redneck, weird science, serial killer, vampire, werewolf, mad scientist, haunted house, haunted asylum, possessed people or objects, whatever you choose, just make it out of the ordinary.
Stories must be between 500 & 2000 words. (will consider longer)
No porn or erotica but sex is not totally out.
Feel free to have any made up characters you need in your story, but please make them fictional.

FYI:
The town of Cedar Canyon is down in a fictional canyon in western Oklahoma. Summers in Western Oklahoma can be brutally hot with drought, spring time is thunderstorms and tornados, winter can be mild or extreme snow and ice, and fall is pretty mild but can have early snowfall and sometimes a small thunderstorm & tornado.

Your writing:
I might make a minor edit to your story but it would only be for punctuation or spelling like there for their. I’m not an English major, hell I had to take an extra semester of it in 11th grade for not passing.
Please, edit, edit again and polish before sending.
You own your writing, but by submitting your story, you are giving permission to be posted to the site eternally, or until removed by the site owner, and stating you are the original author of that story and understand it has been published if put on the site.
Format: In a font easy to read. Preferably Calibri - 11.

How  and what to send:

  1. What are you intending to do with the stories?
    You give the submission guidelines, but I'm not clear on what exactly they're being submitted for. Just putting them up on the site, or are your plans more extensive?

    Thanks!

    The stories will be posted here. The author retains ownership but gives the right for TC3 to post by submitting. The author may submit elsewhere as long as the other publisher is ok with it being posted here.
