We’re
looking for stories that let Mrs. Claus (or is it Ms. Claus?) take centre
stage. Whether she more closely resembles Michelle Obama, Betty White, Shohreh
Aghdashlooor or Maggie Smith, Mrs. Claus must be a developed, independent
character and not simply an extension of her husband. She can help and support
him—of course she can—but there needs to be more to her than only that.
What’s
her role on Christmas Eve? What about the other days of the year? Is she into
sleek red snowmobiles or is she more of an old-fashioned magic sleigh kinda
gal? Does she prefer baking cookies or kickboxing? Betting on the Reindeer
Games or Avon parties with the elves? And what
is her first name, anyway?
Rights
and compensation: Payment: $10 and a paperback copy of the anthology from World
Weaver Press. We are looking for previously unpublished works in English.
Seeking first world rights in English and nonexclusive right to continue to
publish for the life of the anthology.
