We provide the following information as an archive. About As Told by Things is an upcoming anthology of short stories told from the perspective of inanimate objects. Country of Publication United States Publication Medium & Frequency Print Publication Print PublicationOne-time publication Fiction Closed All stories must be positive, light-hearted, and either funny or uplifting. We understand the beauty of the dark fiction and tragedy that lace so many short story collections (e.g. dealing with depression, sexual assault, death), but that’s not what we’re doing here. We will market the anthology as witty, fun, and funny. While overt humor is not required, stories that fit these themes will be favored.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: General Open to all/most Subgenres Action-Adventure Open to all/most Subgenres Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Romance Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: Flash Fiction: Up to 1,000 words; Up to 3 pieces.
