About Submissions: Note from a Bibliotheca Fantastica editor

January 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Claude, one of the editors of Bibliotheca Fantastica, recently had this to say about the stories he was seeing in the slush pile:

So far, the best subs for BF have mostly been wry and/or metafictional, which has been fun to read. I would love to see more adventure, more pulp, more suspense, more passion, more emotion. I would also love to see stories where the connection to the theme is a bit less obvious from the get-go; it should go there, yes, but perhaps from unexpected angles. Most of all, I want diversity: in theme, in style, in genre, in provenance, etc.  I want to be surprised; so I don’t want to be too specific.

You still have plenty of time to submit! Please see our submission guidelines for more information.
