Do you love crafting stories that make readers believe in the magic of love and Christmas? Are you inspired to capture that Hallmark-movie feeling on the page?
We’re looking for heartwarming, romantic short stories to include in The Twelve Knights of Christmas, a Button Hall anthology designed to bring joy, warmth, and holiday cheer, hitting bookstores in November 2025.
Do you have an unpublished manuscript with a happily-ever-after ending? A short story that pairs perfectly with eggnog and would light up someone’s holiday season?
We want tales that offer stress-free escapism, where love conquers all and a modern-day “knight in shining armor” is ready to sweep someone off their feet. Bring us a kind-hearted teacher, a small-town baker, or someone entirely unexpected to join our readers beside a crackling fire.
Polish up your manuscript and submit it by February 1, 2025, to be considered. The twelve selected stories will each receive $100 and a place in this festive holiday collection. We can’t wait to share your magical story with the world!
Submission details below...
Before you submit, make sure your story has a happily ever after, is between 4,000-8,000(ish) words, and features a Christmas theme.
It shouldn't have graphical sexual content, or require a trigger warning.
