Opportunity closes: 30 Nov 2024

OwlCrate Press is looking for writers to send in their short stories (8.5k words or less) for our next sci-fi/dystopian fiction anthology, "Future State of Stars"
!
The stories in the anthology will be for adult audiences and Upper YA (18+) audiences. For this reason, you must be the age of majority in your country to submit, and we welcome submissions from authors globally.
We're looking for stories in the dystopian sci-fi genre (with a Black Mirror or Twilight Zone vibe), and we encourage writers to explore themes of the near-to-far future of states, whether set here on Earth, in space, or in other dimensions.
As with all of OwlCrate's projects, all authors or writers chosen to be part of our anthology, Future States of Stars, as well as future anthologies, will be compensated fairly and generously under contract (at a better-than-minimum industry rate as per SFWA guidelines). All authors will also take part in a profit share that will further compensate authors generously.
As part of the submission process, we have highlighted an opportunity where writers from marginalized communities can talk about themselves, should they feel comfortable. At OwlCrate, we are prioritizing publishing stories from (but not limited to) BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, and diverse authors.

How To Apply

Submissions will be open until November 30 at midnight EST!
