Opportunity for aspiring authors and poets

 

Submit your short story to Authortrek, and you could be named the Authortrek Writer of the Month!

 

Once you have registered on the site, you can post your story. Registration is free.  Indeed, access to the whole of Authortrek Short Stories is free.

Each short story will have a voting button. So, once you have finished posting your story, forward the story link to your friends and ask them to read and vote for your story if they like it (i.e., don't be shy!) The winning author will be named the Authortrek Writer of the Month.

 

You can also earn some money for your writing - if your story gets over 30 votes, then you will be asked to participate in our new scheme to publish short stories in an anthology, a free copy of which will be sent to each successful author.  If your story gets over 100 votes, then we will invite you to submit a novel to us, which we will then publish as a paperback, and the author will be paid  50% of the profits from the paperback in royalties.   However, the editor Kevin Mahoney still reserves the right to reject any novel submission if he feels that it does not fit Punked Books' list, and also reserves the right to source novels from elsewhere.
