A Fool for You—LGBTQIA—Clowns. Pick pockets. Magicians. Jesters. Witches. Demons. Even gods. Tales of Tricksters abound in every culture, sometimes as fools, sometimes as sly schemers too smart for anyone’s good. They are often known as shape shifters and gender fluid—and they are always up to something. Sometimes for good, sometimes for evil, sometimes simply to see what happens…

Less Than Three Press invites you to submit stories of tricksters and all the mischief they can manage—and what happens when they meet their match.

THE DETAILS:

• Deadline is March 31, 2017.
• Put SUBMISSIONS: A FOOL FOR YOU in the subject line.
• Stories should be at least 10,000 words and should not exceed approx 20,000 words in length.
• Stories must revolve around the theme of tricksters.
• Stories must have a happily ever after (HEA) or happy for now (HFN) end.
• Any sub-genre is gladly accepted: sci-fi, mystery, contemporary, steampunk, etc.

Authors will receive one copy each of the ebook formats LT3 produces and two copies of the paperback compilation.
