DEADLINE: June 30, 2008 FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS Call for Story Submissions We are seeking stories, articles and essays on the general subject of surfing misadventure for publication in the second volume of the book series Surfing's Greatest Misadventures. Generally, we are looking for nonfiction stories, though we will consider creative nonfiction or historical fiction. Send us your surf stories of disaster, attacking predators, misfortune, injury, loss of wit or limb, panic, critical conditions, contest meltdowns, everyday fears, surf trips gone wrong or the rough out-of-water episodes that surround surfing. We’re looking for well-written stories that tell a good tale, reflect a culture, and develop the depth of the characters involved. Open to writers and surfers of any level. Here is a description of the first book in the series: The true stories in this one-of-a-kind collection cross the spectrum from terrifying to comical to downright bizarre. Prepare yourself for the mostgripping and unbelievable stories about big waves, shark attacks, tsunamis, boating disasters, devastating wipeouts, pranks, and bad judgment calls. These thirty tales, by surf journalists, filmmakers, magazine editors, watermen, and everyday surfers, illuminate the less enchanting aspects of a life committed to surf. What do we mean by surfing? We include the following types of wave riding: surfing, body boarding, bodysurfing, tow-in surfing, wind surfing, kiteboarding and any other form of wave riding. Payment Writers will be paid $100 upon publication if their story is selected for publication. Deadline NOTE: Deadline Extended! New Deadline--June 30, 2008.
