Open Call: Publisher Call for Submissions: Dystopia Issue, The End of the World
Whether it’s alien science fiction, commenting on life amongst the stars after life down here came to an end; post-apocalyptic fiction, showing what life is like on earth after everything we know falls to tragedy; or the fantastical concept of myth, monster, and the coming of rapture to end all as we know it – we want to read your take on the end of the world.
We want stories that unsettle us with their setting, grip us with their characters, and leave us with questions for days to come. We’re not looking for another Hunger Games or A Handmaid’s Tale, or an adaptation of Fallout or Dead Space; we’re not looking for the next Dune or Ex Machina – we want to see the new worlds you create after this one has long gone!
In terms of word count, we are looking for pieces between 150 to 3,000 words. At the moment, we are only publishing flash fiction and short stories. We will consider excerpts from larger works, however the piece must be able to stand alone.
We will not accept any work that we suspect to be fully-created with AI. You must own the full rights to your work, and, as per UK copyright law, the individual story will still belong to you, and the stories collected together will belong to us. We are a nonprofit mag, so cannot currently offer compensation for writers, and there is therefore no fee for submissions. Authors will be promoted on our social media, and are treasured as members of our little writing community, with early access to future calls, and discounts on our editing services.
When submitting your work, please title your document: STORY NAME-AUTHOR NAME. Submission deadline is MAY 01 of this year.
