We have a little more time until the September markets, so this is an opportunity for authors to who don’t have something ready to go to participate.

At the moment all we’re asking is that you tell us you want to be considered for the anthology, what you’re thinking of writing, and confirming you can have the final, edited copy to us by the end of June 2026.

Again, we will have 3 categories of entries:

1) Poems

2) Flash Fiction (Less than 1,000 words)

3) Short stories (Around 10,000 words)
