Gilgamesh for Novices

Gilgamesh Press, bless them, is going out of their way to encourage new writers:

1st April 2009 Gilgamesh Press will publish their first anthology, In the Footsteps of Gilgamesh. They want to help promote new writers – one of their company goals – by reserving a slot in the anthology for a story from a writer who is, as yet, unpublished in any fiction medium.


The anthology will concern itself with tales from Assyrian mythology, such as the creation story and the Epic of Gilgamesh. However, the stories in In the Footsteps of Gilgamesh will be interpretations or re-writes of these tales, and will come under the genre umbrella of speculative fiction.


I know I've got some novice writers in my audience who aren't published yet. Go write something and send it in. Lazy writers will be beaned with a nerf brick.

Too bad they aren't helping new writers by paying for the stories... all you get is a copy or two of the anthology.

You should do both. Writing practice is good.
