Anthology Idea Submission

Do you have a network united by a common cause or a community of fellow authors whose works complement each other? You might be a great candidate to curate a SOOP Anthology!

Curating an anthology is an excellent way to boost your name recognition, materialize your knowledge and increase your visibility across new audiences. Some people might feel intimidated by the amount of work and stress that compiling a book with 25-plus authors can generate; however, our company has developed a program that gives curators creative control of the project while our team provides guidance and support to coordinate the authors, along with managing the publication details. Your input as a curator will be a valued asset every step of the way.

Fill out the form below if you wish to get started!

After you complete the form, our website will generate an Anthology Idea page (see example) that you can use to gather initial interest in your vision. Your goal is to get 50 people to express initial interest by gathering votes, which translates to people genuinely interested in submitting a Short Story Idea to your anthology once that option becomes available.

Your anthology will become open for submissions once you’ve completed the preparation work in consultation with SOOP executives.

Submit Your Anthology Idea

This is for our internal use only and will not be shared.
Proposed Title of Your Anthology*

What is the title of your Anthology?
Your Vision for Your Anthology*
A brief summary of your Anthology
Maximum Length of Each Story*
Note that the maximum word count of your book should be 100,000 words or less. Please keep that in mind when deciding this.
If you plan to personally contribute a story, please give an idea as to what that will be.
Please provide 3-5 writing prompts
A prompt can be a question, an invitation to create a story based on a few pertinent details, or a call for the author to relate his or her personal experiences with your theme. Remember to strike the right tone. If your Anthology Idea is for a horror collection, your tone could be ominous. If your Anthology Idea is themed around self-improvement, your tone could be professional but warm and encouraging. Please keep your writing prompts short, simple, and direct—aim for something tweetable.
Examples of stories that fit your vision.
These can be Short Story Ideas that you find via our website or links to stories that you have read elsewhere. The goal here is to simply provide those who are interested with a more specific idea of what fits your vision.
