FUTURES Anthology Submissions
Deadline Friday 30 September 2022
Glimmer Press is accepting submissions for their new short story anthology on the theme FUTURES.
At a time when our future seems at peril from various existential calamities, what does the future look like to you? We encourage you to think broadly and creatively about the theme and are especially interested in stories that provide a glimmer of hope in amongst the darkness. All genres are welcome.
Due to the success of our first anthology, Thrill Me, we can offer a $500 prize pool for FUTURES. We recommend you check out Thrill Me to see what Glimmer Press anthologies are about.
Conditions of entry
Stories up to 3000 words will be accepted (sorry, no poetry).
Flash fiction is encouraged.
The collection will be edited by Glimmer Press’s publisher, Lynette Washington.
The winning story will be awarded $200.
Three runner up stories will be awarded $100 each.
The winner, runners-up and all shortlisted entries will be published in the anthology. All writers retain copyright of their work. All shortlisted writers will receive a copy of the anthology and may purchase additional copies at a discounted price.
Entries will be accepted up to 30 September 2022 and the anthology will be published in 2023.
We will respond to all entrants after judging has been completed. Please allow several months for this process to occur.
