Route call for submissions

From Route publishing:

A deadline has been set for the current open short story submission. All stories should be to us by 3 June 2009. Reading will take place through June and July and selections made. Also in this period final readings will take place for The Route Book at Bedtime, a process which is severely overdue and we apologise to all writers who submitted to that collection and are still awaiting a response.


This is the current story call. For details of how to submit click on www.id-publishing.com


Route will be publishing another instalment in its series of contemporary stories in 2010, for which submissions are now invited. Stories should be sharp, fresh, relevant and, most of all, contemporary.


With our first publication in January 2000, Route is coming up to being a decade old. Throughout this turbulent first decade of the 21st Century, we have chronicled contemporary preoccupations in real life terms through people's stories. What's the next and final chapter in this decade's story?


Route always looks for the answer hidden in the depths of its submissions pile.


Stories should be no more than 5000 words long.


*** Deadline for submissions 3 June 2009 ***
