Submission guidelines can be found at http://talltaletv.com/submission-guidelines/ ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- My name is Chris Herron, and I narrate SciFi and fantasy audiobooks. In 2015, poor control of my type 1 diabetes left me legally blind for the better part of a year. The doctors predicted an 80% chance I would never see again, but I changed the way I was living and through sheer willpower beat the odds. During this time I couldn't read or write. Two things that I had been turning to for comfort since I was a small child. With the incredible amount of stress I was under, this was devastating. My wife took me by the arm, led me into the local library, and read out titles of audiobooks to me. I chose the audiobook versions of books I had loved such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more. They brought my favorite stories to life in ways I never thought possible and helped me through the darkest time of my life. Once my vision recovered, I maintained a love for audiobooks. I decided I would turn my focus from being a writer to becoming a narrator. I devised Tall Tale TV as a way to help out all the amazing authors in the writing communities I had come to love before my ordeal. I created Tall Tale TV to help aspiring authors by providing them with a promotional audiobook video. A way to showcase their skills with the written word. They say the strongest form of advertisement is word of mouth, so I provide their stories to a platform of readers to help get people talking. Help them spread the word. Now I publish SciFi and fantasy short stories every few days, written by authors from around the world.
