Co-editors E.S. Magill, Angel Leigh McCoy, and Chris Marrs have put out a call for submissions and for Kickstarter pledges for Deep Cuts, an anthology of short horror stories designed to celebrate Women in Horror Month, February 2013. Both men and women may submit stories to the anthology, but they will each be required to also submit a 150-word recommendation for a short horror story written by a woman writer.
The editors are doing a Kickstarter fundraiser to raise enough money to pay greater than professional rates to all writers on the project. The goal is $5000 and the end date is 7/1/12.
