This is for all you who live in the northern hemisphere.
I wrote a submission for an anthology that didn't make the cut. The anthology was set in an isolated (make believe) village/town. The population is less than 1000, the town is nestled in a valley with the surrounding hills/mountains high enough for individuals to have built homes over looking the main population. It snows in winter. A small airport nearby services its travelling needs.
My requirements: I wrote my story with this town in mind but not set actually in the town - reason: - so if rejected it wouldn't be too difficult to find a new town to base it on for shopping it around to other markets.
I have recieved good feedback on the story from the editor but with very limited spots for unknowns like me, I think basing it outside the town worked against me. Anyhow - now I need to remove and replace all instances of the fictional town name.
So with the above parameters in mind (If you can't meet all of them then as many as possible would be good) does anybody have any suggestions for a replacement community?
All suggestions appreciated.
TIA
