Poetry, experimental fiction, or flash fiction is not accepted.
GCP accepts only the best stories for the creation of emotobooks. Your writing should be hard hitting, heart thumping, and sweat inducing in just a few short pages. Put your characters in extreme situations and see what happens. Fill the reader’s five senses with your world and let them be carried away during the 30 to 60 minute experience.
EMOTOSERIAL SUBMISSIONS
GCP accepts novel-length work (65K+ words) and novella-length work (variable word count). Your story does not have to be serialized for submissions. If accepted, our editors will help you with the transformation.
