Information for our members!!!!

Marta Knobloch and Kip Piper, editors at MTC Publications

announce a call for submissions of stories or poems for the

anthology, "Necessity is a Mother: Toolbox Tales When All Else

Fails"

The theme of the anthology is "Stories of Positive, Practical

and Often Comical Solutions When a Toolbox Is Not Handy."

This will be an anthology of stories about funny and wacky

situations where a tool or tools are needed but not available,

and the atypical and ingenious resources used to solve the

problem.

We invite writers to share true, personal stories and poems

about silly circumstances, amusing anecdotes, and much-better-

than-expected outcomes when resorting to the use of items

available as alternative tools when in a bind.

· What was the problem?

· What tools were needed and not available?

· What crazy things or alternative tools did you use?

· What inspired you to use the alternative tools?

· What was the outcome?

Stories should be funny, entertaining and vividly

descriptive so readers can enjoy the writer's ridiculous

experience.

Word length:

Prose: up to 1200 words; Poetry: open line count.

Payment:

1 contributor’s digital copy in both PDF and MOBI format,

plus 1 coupon for printed copies at a discount.

Copyrights revert to authors upon publication of this

anthology, "Necessity is a Mother: Toolbox Tales When All

Else Fails".

Deadline: Submissions accepted from July 25, 2015 to

deadline of January 25, 2016.
