About

To be a successful writer, you need talent, persistence, and luck. 10X10X10 is looking for work from writers who have plenty of the first two but none of the latter. Specifically, you must have written at least 10 stories, novels, or works of creative nonfiction, and you must have had 10 rejections or more. The requirement of 10 stories rejected 10 times each is a thing of the past. 10 stories, 10 rejections, that's it. The story you send me is not required to be a rejected story. I am looking for anything quality: literary fiction, genre fiction, creative nonfiction, poetic prose, absurdism, erotica, humor, pretty much anything. I want 10X10X10 to be eclectic. DO NOT SEND the following: vampire fiction (sorry), stories with excessive machismo, westerns, splatter gore for its own sake, silly romance, poetry of any kind (doubly sorry), pornographic erotica (i.e. if it could appear in Penthouse I don’t want it), stories with poor grammar or spelling. Send me good work. I want to show the world that authors who are constantly rejected are nevertheless good authors. The minimum quality I’ll accept should be better than Dean Koontz.
