Wing’s
Edge: A Fantastically Short Fiction Anthology
Call for
Submissions:
Need:
hint fiction stories of 25 words, exactly.
Need:
drabble fiction stories of 101 words, exactly.
Need:
flash fiction stories between 250 and 1,000 words.
Theme:
Flights of Fantasy/Speculative Fiction
These
stories should fall into the realm of fantasy and speculative fiction, and
include the idea of flight in some form: birds, griffins, dragons, jetpacks,
steampunk hang-gliders, space ships, etc.
These
stories should also be “clean” in a PG to PG-13 way. No graphic violence,
sex, nudity, or excessive cursing.
Action-packed
adventure is okay. Sword-fighting scenes and fist fights are okay. Just don’t
go gory. Romance can be sweet or hinted, but not graphic.
The story
needs to be the work of the submitting author, and cannot be fan fiction.
The
editor’s preferred forms of speculative
fiction include space opera, science fiction, dystopian, traditional fantasy,
super-powered fantasy, and urban fantasy.
Please do
not send stories about zombies, vampires, ghosts, or other types of
the undead. If you write a story that includes those features, then send it to
a different market. It’s not that the editor has never read stories with those
features, but this is not the market for them.
Formats
accepted: docx, or rtf, or copy and pasted into the body of an e-mail. Also,
please include a one to two sentence bio, two links to your favorite forms of
social media, and one link for one book, if you have one.
The
reading period has been extended until July 2017.
Projected
publish date: Fall 2017.
Authors
will be expected to help with promotions and will receive a free pdf of the anthology.
If your
story is accepted, you will receive a copy of a contract, and after we both sign
it, it’s a done deal.
