www.EuropeBackpack.com

Length:  Stories average 800-2,000 words.  While we will accept stories up to 3,000 words, shorter stories have a better chance of being accepted.  Please review the first book, EUROPE FROM A BACKPACK, to determine the appropriate style and length for your narrative.

How to submit:  Send your story by MS Word attachment to submit@EuropeBackpack.com with the following information (on the attachment): name, story title, story location, address, phone, primary e-mail, secondary e-mail, and College or University.  Include a fun and brief bio of yourself after the story.

Compensation:  If your story is accepted for publication you will receive $100 for each story of any length and two complimentary copies of the book.  By submitting your story, you agree to sell the non-exclusive rights to your story at the above price.

Deadlines:  We accept stories throughout the year for future publications.  In order for your story to appear in Italy, France, Spain, or Western Europe, you must submit the story by June 30, 2004.  The earlier you submit a story the better.  Share your story today!
