Our next open anthology will begin accepting submissions on June 1, 2011, and we will take stories until August 30, 2011. The theme of this anthology is “Fish”. We want your mythic adventures and modern retellings. We want Dagan, not of Lovecraft but of the Phillistines. We want Ku-ula, of Hawaii, and Hatmehyt, and Nereus with his bounty. We want magic koi in ancient ponds and the street shaman with his fishy avatar, stalking the streets in some odd future. We want sharks, hunting far out at sea. We want carnival goldfish with short-lived secrets.
Send us something beautiful.
Submit stories of up to 4,000 words (flash of under 1000 is also encouraged) to:
submissions@daganbooks.com
Stories must be sent as a .doc attachment. Do not double space after the end of sentences. Do use paragraphs and tab indents. Do not add an extra line after each paragraph.
Subject heading must have: [FISH] Story Title, Author Last Name
This project pays 1 cent per word plus 1% royalty, paid quarterly, for the first two years of the book’s life.
Cover art by Galen Dara will be available June 1, 2011.
I’m excited for this! I I think I have a story that would fit perfectly. I just need to polish it a little more and then wait for submissions to open.
Yes, I’m excited by the theme of this anthology, too and will be trying to get something suitable ready between now and then
Are reprints acceptable?
