Dream of Things Travel Anthology
http://dreamofthings.com/guidelines

Deam of Things is looking for creative nonfiction stories about travel. They plans to publish the anthology by the end of 2011. Stories can be humorous or serious. For details about the type of story they want, see the Dream of Things workshop page. For more details about the travel anthology, click HERE. You can also read excerpts from Saying Goodbye, their first anthology, by clicking HERE.

Creative nonfiction to them means true stories told in a creative and compelling manner. The story you submit can be inspiring, heartwarming, humorous or thought-provoking. Most of all, the story you submit should be a story. Tell your story of a meaningful or humorous experience, or the story of an interesting or colorful person. It’s not enough to simply share your insights and observations; tell the story of how you learned those lessons. Similarly, it’s not enough to simply write about an interesting person; tell the story that shows that person at his or her best. The best way to get a feel for the type of writing they are looking for is to read other books that have been published by Dream of Things.

Your story can be anywhere from 500 to 2,500 words long. They accept previously published material as long as you have retained rights to the work. We also accept multiple and simultaneous submissions. You will receive initial notice of Dream of Thing’s interest in 6-9 months, and final notice 1-2 months prior to publication.

Deadline for stories: Oct. 15, 2011.

Payment: Dream of Things pays a royalty of 10% of the cover price on trade paperback books, and 30% of the net receipts on electronic books. If a hardcover edition is published, Dream of Things pays a royalty of 15% of the cover price of the hardcover book. For anthologies, Dream of Things purchases one-time rights. Royalties are paid twice per year. Each author’s share of the royalties is prorated. (Example: If you contribute a story to an anthology that includes a total of 25 stories, you would receive 4% of the royalties for that book.) Authors also receive two free copies upon publication, and a 50% discount on additional copies. For all other books, payment terms and rights are negotiable.
