I'm an editor who is currently seeking entries for an anthology to be published by Adams Media, and I've been crazily trying to find places to post the call for stories so that I attract a very wide audience. I've been lobbing from one boomer site to another, even to a Deadhead site. Of course I have an impossibly tight deadline too, so that makes my challenge even more difficult. I'm posting the info below in case anyone reads this and can help. If you do write to me, please let me know that you saw this on Eons. And, please pass the word!
For WOODSTOCK REVISITED, we are seeking fifty true stories (850-1100 words) written by people who attended the 1969 Woodstock Festival. This anthology will document the event itself, but will also provide a portrait of America as that tumultuous decade came to a close. Stories should be historical within the context of 1969 and yet unique to your experience. Stories must be TRUE, vivid, and substantive. Please carefully review the details and sample story provided on the "Woodstock ’69 Guidelines" page available on
www.literarycottage.com/woodstock.html
HURRY - DEADLINE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2008
Adams Media pays $100 and one copy of the book. Literary Cottage offers prizes of $100, $75, and $50 to top three stories respectively.Please, please pass on the word regarding Woodstock Revisited, as we need fifty solid stories from people who attended the festival in 1969. You can write an “as told to” story if you have friends or family who attended. If you are not a writer, send me a narrative, and I'll help you craft your story.
THANKS!
