👁️ Call for Submissions: Bloodshot (Working Title) 👁️
I am thrilled to announce the next installment in The Writer's Block Anthologies. We are currently using the working title Bloodshot, but we want you involved in the creative process! We’ll be holding a vote in the near future to let our authors and community help decide the final title for this collection.
The Theme
This anthology is dedicated to the stories that keep you up at night. We are looking for flash fiction that is scary, suspenseful, or deeply disturbing—the kind of tales that linger long after the lights go out. With the "unblinking eye" as our inspiration, we want punchy, high-impact narratives that get straight to the marrow of fear and unease.
Rolling Submission Model
This anthology will remain open for submissions until it is officially "Full." A collection is considered full when:
- At least 10 authors have submitted accepted stories.
- A minimum of 100,000 total words has been reached.
Note on Selection: To ensure a high-quality reading experience, submission does not guarantee acceptance. The Writer's Block reserves the right to decline stories that do not meet our quality standards or thematic requirements.
Submission Details
- Word Count: 500–2,500 words (Flash Fiction).
- Status: Currently OPEN for submissions.
- Publication Date: Targeted for approximately 30 days after the anthology is "Full."
Professional Standards & Author Services
To be considered for publication, all stories must be professionally edited. If you need assistance, The Writer's Block Editing Team offers:
- Beta Reading: $.005/word.

Note: Use of these services does not guarantee acceptance into the anthology.
Rights, Royalties, & Kickstarter Editions

- Royalties: Paid via Draft2Digital royalty split.
- Special Editions: The Writer's Block reserves the right to create Kickstarter editions.
