Anthology Submission guidelines: 

Submissions for anthologies must be made between the opening of submissions and before the deadline.

Each short story must be between 3,000 to 10,000 words (unless it is 100% necessary to the story! Or is otherwise noted for the anthology.)

Each poem must be between 75 to 3,000 words.

​

Each submission must have a focus on the anthology's theme in some form. The story must be formatted as follows: text size 12, Times New Roman, Line spacing 1.15, single indent or no indent at all.

Submissions must be submitted as PDF, Word doc, or Google doc. No other formats are accepted.

Submissions will be proofread and edited by the editing team, and returned to the author with the comments for final approval or with any questions that come up.

​

Bible verses must be King James Version. No other version is accepted due to the publishing policy and copyright and public domain.

You can submit more than one submission. Only one short story and/or poem per author will be chosen for the anthology. (Yes, you may submit both for the chance of having one of each accepted.)

Any era or genre - excluding magical fantasy, horror, or anything that doesn't honor God, otherwise have at it! – is accepted. We're looking for good, wholesome Christian stories that are for all ages or at the most 13/16 up–so no icky relationships, or extreme violence.

Your story must be God-honoring and portray a plot line that reflects God's love and honors Him! Your submission must also follow Beyond the Bookery's Statement of Faith on our About page.

​

Please, no inappropriate behavior, no profanity, no use of the Lord's name in vain, and keep it at a rating of around PG-13 or something you don't mind a parent, grandparent, or kid siblings reading... Yes, this bares saying again.

​

No use of AI in any form is allowed for stories submitted to Beyond the Bookery.
 

You will not harass, contact, deframe, or bully anyone in the anthology, working with Beyond the Bookery, or in anyway, shape, or form cause harm be it by words, actions, or in any way if you are not chosen as an author.

​

(Anything against these rules and regulations will not be accepted nor considered due to a strong policy of keeping in line with our hopes for the anthology, beliefs, and what we hope to share with the world at large.)

​

All submissions made to Beyond the Bookery indicate your agreement with these rules and regulations and bind you to them in the case of your submission's acceptance.
