Additional info
Shelter of Daylight wants original stories with plot, tension, suspense, conflict, and character development. Remember, if readers do not care what happens to your main character[s], they won’t read the story. The narrative should maintain a sense of wondering what’s going to happen next; of what’s lurking just around the corner. Showing is better than telling. Frex, instead of telling the reader that it’s cold, show your character shivering, stomping feet, or having ice form on beard or hair. The inner thoughts and emotions of your character[s] are just as important. We will consider reprint stories, provided they adhere to the guidelines; however, they are difficult sells. Please submit one story at a time, and wait for the response before submitting another. Payment is made upon publication by check or Paypal as follows: Original Stories: $25.00 Reprint Stories: $15.00 Flash Fiction: 1 cent/word Poems: $5.00 Articles: $20.00
