TKnC is a site for writers of thrillers, crime, horror and mystery stories to share their short story or flash fiction with others of a like mind.
Stories should be:
no more than 2,000 words long.
Edited to the best of your ability
and
(to cut down on spam emails) pasted in the body of an email.
Stories should be submitted to:
SubmissionsTKnC@Gmail.Com
In the subject line please write one of the following:
Submission: Crime (for all crime and noir)
Submission: Horror (for all horror, weird, ghost, spooky, supernatural etc)
Submission: Thriller (for all action, thriller, and spy)
If your story doesn't fit any of the above, place Submission: Thriller in the subject line (this would include humorous, slice of life etc).
If you want to add a bio with links to your own sites, paste them in the mail after your story.
Because of the nature of the site violence and profanity (in reason) will be tolerated. However there are things that we do not expect to see or have to read. Unless it's intrinsic to the plot or motivation of the characters do not send us stories containing:
Gratuitous or deviant sex.
Fetishism
Overt cruelty to children.
Racist, religious, phobic or political ranting.
And please, because we don't advocate the practice:
No juvenile self-harming stories.
No juvenile suicide/misery stories.
Also:
No handsome, tormented vampires with a heart (or bushy eyebrows) stories. (Unless, of course, as one witty reader suggested: "Is it okay if the heart isn't his own?").
Because of the adult nature of the site you must be 16+ to submit work.
There will be NO PAYMENT, only the knowledge that others are reading and enjoying your work. The author retains all copyright to the works (be aware that some publishers will not take works previously published on the web), but we encourage feedback from our readers, the kind of support that is invaluable.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This site is for the enjoyment of reading and writing genre fiction. The opinions expressed by the authors are not necessarily those of the editors. The editors reserve the right to refuse any submission, and the reason for their decision will not be entered into. In other words, please respect their decision.
