In honor of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) Silk Road will begin accepting first chapters of novels for publication in the magazine. Our editors would like to showcase first chapters that would pique a reader’s interest and get a great story rolling. We also want to encourage writers to keep going and finish that novel! The chapter need not be as self contained as a short story, but it should not operate solely as an introduction to your book. We need action and character development. We are looking for controlled prose, concrete details of landscape, vivid characters who come off the page and compel us to keep reading Guidelines here. |
