I write horror, science fiction, paranormal and about spirituality. My website is a place to read my writing, and I publish short stories from other horror/sci-fi/paranormal writers. Visit the submission guidelines to get your story online.(A great, easy way to get published!)
I also publish a blog
that gives tips on writing, getting published, getting an agent, and just general stuff. I am going to start double-posting most of my blogs here.
I'm looking forward to making new friends into writing, being published, spooky stuff, Halloween, paranormal, sci-fi, and music. I am looking forward to discussions about all of the above, getting some fantastic writing ideas, and am hoping to get a slew of you published on my site.
I have a deep spiritual side, and believe in the energies of life (and death). I am writing a Meditation Manual, shopping several of my short stories to magazines, and am currently working on a new novel.
I am also a musician (another true-calling). I sing jazz gigs when I can, commercials if they come my way, and currently sing with the Oregon Repertory Singers.
Who I'd like to meet: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Wayne Dyer and a really good agent!
Hello Marti, storywar.com has turned into a real FULL BLOWN WAR! There's a fiery debate going on aboutr whether CHAPTER submissions should be accepted or not, with some really heated arguments.. so I've added a Section of the Forum especially for this topic... what do you think??
Hi again, I just wanted to let you know we are looking for writers for our new book project.
'City Smells' is a new literary project set up by the Edit Red Writing Community.
We are running three writing competitions, Flash Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction and Poetry, all with the theme 'City Smells. The winners of each of these competitions will win $100. But more than this, we will take the best work from each competition and compile a paperback 'City Smells' anthology. The writers who make it into the 'City Smells' anthology will each receive free copies of the book and be paid a royalty in book sales.
To submit to these competition and stand a chance of being published in the 'City Smells' book you must be a member of Edit Red, as the submission process is automated. Joining Edit Red and entering these competitions is 100% free. If you make it into the book, we will pay royalties based on book sales.
Edit Red has existed for many years and was created and is still managed today by non-fiction author Alan Emmins, creative writing teacher Chris Lee Ramsden and literary reviewer Sean Merrigan.
Oooh, I get to be the first comment on your page! Well, thanks for the friendship, Marti and I look forward to getting to know you and your horror tales a lot better. Hope you have a twisted day. Click here to check out Twisted: Tales of Obsession and Terror. Or visit me at www.rickrreed.com
