“The Secret Hollow” May See Print

Hope ever springs eternal and so I have said “yes” to the following request (hopefully this one will actually make it to print):

Hello,

After some consideration, the Short Story Library magazine has decided to start publishing a print edition twice a year with the best writing published in the online magazine. After review of what we have published, your story “The Secret Hollow” has been selected!

When we published your story the first time, you granted us non exclusive online rights, in order for us to include your story we are asking for non exclusive print rights to publish in print your story. You will retain the right to your story at all times, you are only granting us the right to print your story, the copyright remains yours. At this time we cannot pay you for your writing but hope having the print publishing credit on your resume in addition to more exposure to your writing will be satisfactory.

We are planning on having the print edition ready to go by the beginning of 2009. We will be hiring an illustrator to help with the cover and fill out the magazine. In order for us to get started we ask that you respond by November 15th so that we have sufficient time to edit the stories, get the illustrations and have the book ready to go by the end of year. If we do not hear back by November 15th, we will assume we did not have your permission and will not include your writing in our collection.

Thanks for your interest in Short Story Library and hope to hear back from you soon, When you reply, please include a bio you would like to be included with your writing. Please keep the bio to less than 50 words.
