There’s nothing better than escaping to a summer retreat to beat the congestion and noise of the city. But what to read while you sit on the dock gazing out over the lake? That’s where the Cottage Life Anthology comes in. Short stories in every genre that all revolve around a summer getaway. The perfect book to leave at your cottage or gift to that friend who allows you to use theirs.
Accepting 3,000 to 5,000 word fiction stories in any genre with a “cottage/camping/cabin/summer getaway/beach” theme. Works can be previously published as long as you hold the current rights. The book will be “family friendly” in wording if not theme (i.e. no swearing or erotica, but horror, dark humour is okay)
