People of Color Destroy Lovecraft
- Lovecraft wrote some hella scary monsters, on that most horror scholars agree, but he was terribly racist. I would like to see for this issue, POC characters that turn Lovecraft's racism and monsters on his/their heads. My preference for this issue is to have the majority of stories written by writers of color, if not all. Queer writers of color are especially encouraged to submit.
- Flash/shorts (750-1500 words. No MORE than 1500 words, no LESS than 750 words) for $10 per piece original, previously unpublished. Microfics (350-749 words) will pay at a $5 per story rate for original, previously unpublished stories.
- NO POETRY OR DRABBLES FOR THIS ONE.
- Reprints will be accepted on this one. BUT will pay at a $5 rate for flash/shorts (750-1500 words) and $3 for microfics (350-749 words). You must identify your story as a reprint on the cover page of the manuscript and provide the market and date (mo/yr) where it was last published.
- Please follow instructions on the Guidelines page and include your name, PayPal email, and word count (total, not approximate) on the first page of your story document.
- Deadline July 1st, 2020.
FUTURE CALLS
- Women Destroy [Retro] Science Fiction
- Women authors only (Transwomen authors accepted because transwomen are women).
- Retro Science Fiction. What is retro sci fi? It's also known as retro-futurism, and described as "the future that never was." Something like the science fiction stories of the 40s and 50s. John DeNardo wrote a nice article about it in Kirkus Review. Link: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/features/why-i-love-retro-science-fiction/
- I want you to imagine me a future of women characters that shine and live in a world (that they created or helped to create) filled with impossible wonders.
- Flash and short stories only.
- Reprints will be accepted on this one.
- No submissions accepted until July 31st.
- Work is Hell! Literally!
