Taking Submissions: Dangerous to Go Alone! 2

Deadline: October 31st, 2024
Payment: $10 and $5 for reprints
Theme: Poems inspired by games or game culture (Ideally video games, tabletop also accepted.)
Note: Reprints Welcome

Submissions are now open for “Dangerous to Go Alone! 2”, the sequel to Manawaker Studio’s anthology of gamer poetry, edited by CB Droege.

The guidelines follow.

POETRY ONLY

Unlike many other Manawaker anthologies, DtGA is only for poetry. Sorry, fiction writers and visual artists. We’ll do another multi-media anthology next year. ;D

We are looking for poems inspired by games or game culture. Most of the selected poems will be about video games and the culture surrounding them, but some will be about tabletop games. (We don’t want any poems about field sports or casino games). For legal reasons, poems about games with specific IP should be somewhat abstract. We feel that poetry is pretty well protected by fair use in this case, so specific characters and situations can be mentioned, but it’s still better if they are only alluded to.

Taking Submissions: Terrific Tomorrows

Deadline: May 31st, 2024
Payment: Contributor’s copy and 3 cents per word for original work or 1 cent per word for reprints
Theme: Family friendly science fiction with positive visions of the future
Note: Reprints welcome

We’re looking for stories for our next family friendly anthology, Terrific Tomorrows! We’re looking for science fiction with positive visions of the future, stories that leave the reader excited about the possibilities ahead.
By “family friendly,” we mean stories an adult can enjoy, but also share with a 10-year-old. No gore, no cursing, and no stories where violence is a solution. We’re looking for tales where people think their way out of problems.
