The Clockwork of Crime
The Clockwork of Crime will be a collection of crime/mystery stories set in a steampunk setting. P.I. noir, police procedurals, Vitorian Holmes-styled detective stories are all welcome. We are looking for well-developed characters of your own creation, not steampunk'd versions of existing characters. The heroes and villains are to be of your own creation. Please double-check to insure that you do not use names of existing, trademarked characters.
We are looking for short fiction between 3,000 and 10,000 words.

We ask for first publishing rights, the right to use the story for as long as there is demand for the books in print, digital and audio format, the right to edit each story for errors, and the right to utilize excerpts and the author's name for promotion. Authors will keep all other rights and can republish the story once the anthology has been in print for twelve months.

As payment for an accepted story, you will receive a print copy of the finished anthology. In addition, accepted authors will be able to order copies of the book at 30% off of the cover price and have their names and links displayed on our website.
