Writer Sanctum folk, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) is organizing a story bundle based around the theme of time travel. We are looking for submissions, and, for the first time, one of our story bundles will be open to contributions from non-SFWA members.
SFWA, for those who might not know, is a non-profit organization devoted to supporting speculative fiction writers, artists, and allied professionals and hosts the prestigious Nebula Awards. More information can be found at https://www.sfwa.org/about/who-we-are/
Twice a year SFWA organizes a story bundle, which is a collection of novels grouped around a particular theme that is available for a discounted price for a limited time. The amount that writers earn from having their books in the bundle depends on how many copies the bundle sells. You can explore what storybundle is here: https://storybundle.com/faq
This story bundle, A Matter of Time, will run from July 29th to August 20th. We are looking for 15-20 excellent novels about time travel, and all writers - whether SFWA members or not - will be given equal consideration.
To submit, email [email protected] with "A Matter of Time Science Fiction Bundle" in the subject line and attach an epub version of your book. Submissions will accepted through midnight, US Eastern Time, March 20th, 2019. Participants will be notified by April 20th, 2019, so that any books enrolled in Amazon KDP Select (Kindle Unlimited) will have time to be brought out of exclusivity before the bundle is released.
No circumvention of these deadlines through time traveling will be allowed.
You must have the rights to enter the story bundle, and it must not be in Amazon's KDP Select for the time that the bundle is published. Participants will be selected collectively by the SFWA Self Publishing Committee (SPC). It also cannot be free/permafree. The minimum price is .99.
Any questions, please ask away or send me a private message.

I've got a couple of time-travel stories, though they are not novel-length so I won't be submitting my work this time.
Good luck with the promo, though.

Would this be open to writers for children and middle grades? or is it only for novels for adults?

oooh... this might be very interesting.

Only adults! Sorry about that, and something I should have clarified.

Does the novel need to be already published on Amazon? My novel is complete but I'm still struggling with covers and blurbs. Thanks! Sarah
