And lastly, have fun writing. We envision this anthology as a collection of great stories about ghosts and hauntings in Idaho. We know you have many stories to tell. This is your opportunity to share them with others, as well as see some of your work in print.
CRITIQUE OPTION
Often writers like feedback on their stories. If you would like a critique, please send by snail mail three copies of your work along with a check or money order for $15.00 to The Other Bunch Press, P O Box 5073, Twin Falls, ID 83303. If you want your copies returned, please also include a SASE large enough to fit the manuscript and be sure it has the proper amount of postage affixed. A critique of your work does not guarantee your story will be selected, but it can provide you with important feedback. You will receive three individual critique sheets with feedback on mechanics, grammar, usage, punctuation, character and plot development, and story resolution.
