I've always wanted to write a true, Supernatural, horror story, but it takes a lot of imagination.
Only way to do it is to take that first step. Everyone started somewhere.

We have filled two of the three slots for the Novelettes portion of Readers Digested, Vol. 3, and have now, also, filled three of the slots for Short Stories and one of the Slots for Flash Fiction (we have a fourth short story as well, but we're leaving the slot open for others who might be interested and will likely rollover that story into Vol. 4.

Seems like you're chugging right along with it.
We have etched out a small group of writers that are willing to pool their stories for the project. I will say - it has been much more difficult finding contributors for Dreamers Hallow (our fantasy anthology). Most of the writers who submit for Readers Digested are from our days as a horror blogsite, and we haven't built on that yet like I'd hoped.

Very cool. I wish I had the discipline to write something for it.

The only thing to it is to do it! And, with an anthology, it is low-risk, high-reward. It helps furnish your name a little bit, adds a reference, and every time we go to a Comic Con, we share your story with the world.

On the subject of Readers Digested 2, I have sent the final draft to @Scott, who will do some final touches to the formatting for it. After that, I will decide on the cover work, have the spine and back cover made, and then, send it in.

I hope to do a release in April and work toward advertising it!

I sent you an email with my submission. I don't know if it will fit with what you have in mind for Readers Digested, but I figured I would go ahead and shoot my shot.

Even if it isn't, we have other series' we do (or will do), and other ways we can publish certain stories.
