The submission window for Fears of a Clown is now closed and I’ve emailed an acknowledgement for all the stories I’ve received.
So, if you’ve submitted but haven’t had an acknowledgement yet, then let me know so I can confirm whether I received your story.

Now the hard work begins for me.
Because I’ve received enough great stories that I can’t possibly fit them all in. Stories that share an idea I had, but tell it in a way that’s different. Stories that took my theme in directions I’d never expected. Stories that leave me at risk of being cut from my own anthology.
But most of all, stories that I’ve vastly enjoyed reading.
And that’s just based on the ones I’ve read so far.
