Ongoing Submissions: Cosmorama

Payment: $30
Theme: A mix of speculative fiction and literature stories with singular visions and points-of-view that are still very grounded in character

We like stories with singular visions and points-of-view that are still very grounded in character.

We’d like to sit somewhere between speculative fiction and literary fiction, taking aspects of both and creating something new and original.
We’re also keen to read pure literary fiction, especially if it challenges the reader to think about something in a new or different way.
