Give us something with a dark edge to it. Give us a story that moves along, that has a strong narrative drive. If you're going for a more leisurely-paced story, that's fine, but make sure there's something to it. No style over substance. We will read unsolicited short stories up to 5,000 words and our response time is currently 4-10 weeks.
Payment is three-five cents per word, upon publication.
Note that this address is for story submissions only. Cemetery Dance does not accept e-mail submissions, proposals, or queries. Any submissions or queries sent via e-mail will be discarded. Always send a query letter first, outlining your idea and projected length. If we like your concept, we'll assign you the job with a deadline.
