Heroica House Publishing is a micropublisher paying .10 a word. If the budget has been expended would you still like your work published?:                      

HHP has a YouTube channel of the same name. Would you be comfortable being interviewed?:

If your work is published you will still retain complete and total ownership of your work. All HHP requires is the right to print your work in an appropriate format into perpetuity with the right to make minor changes if absolutely necessary and add interior art.

Do you acknowledge that the submitted work is entirely your own, is not libelous, does not infringe on another's copywrite, or other proprietary rights?:

​

The required format for your work is past tense, third person. Cambria font. Size 14. Please take the time to read HHP books to get a feel for the world. All the stories become part of that universe so no destroying the planet at the end of your story. All stories need awesome characters and a hint of the strange or horrific if possible. The YouTube channel will go into greater detail on this.

Payments to an author of $600 or more will generate a 1099 form for US citizens and all residents of Nevada will need a small business license to be paid. Some writers don't want the hassle but that's the world we live in. The IRS can eat a fat throbbing veiny dick.

If your work is published for pay or not, you'll get two free copies of the book it appears in.

Project Chariot is a huge girl-power hit and best of all, there's room for you to jump in and write your own tale of badass gearhead motorcycle chicks taking secret documents across America. These ladies can't get enough high-speed thrills and Nazi spills.

To be published, you need one heroine riding the cycle and her gunner in the sidecar (though a solo rider isn't unheard of at military bases without enough riders to spare). She needs to have a strong personality to carry the story. A Mary Sue (think Conan on a Harley-Davidson) is fine but probably not as satisfying as a heroine who's over her head but learns to bring the thunder. Write what works best for you.

Slang and colloquialisms from the 30s and very early 40s help ground the story, and a thorough understanding of the world at that time is needed, though don't let facts interfere with an epic tale.

Though a simple chase is fine for a short story, I encourage you to add a twist or a bit of the unexpected like super tech, sorcerers, crazed backcountry hillbillies, or whatever garnish you need to turn a simple tale into an event.

Your villains need to be highly competent and dangerous. if you're too afraid to depict a Nazi as either of those things then writing may not be for you. Be courageous.

Themes to explore: war, 1940s America, travel, friendship, loyalty, death, youth.
