Taking Submissions: An untitled, fire-themed anthology

February 18, 2017

Deadline: February 18th. 2017
Payment: $15-20 and a contributor’s copy

Fire is alive, a sentient element that can create or destroy.  Once ignited, fire can feed an army or destroy a city.  Both tools and weapons are forged in flames.  Stories and spells have been cast by its warm, flickering light since the dawn of dreams.  Millions of miles away, combusting stars illuminate the night.  Burning within everyone, the divine spark drives us forward, to our destinies.  Fire fuels passion and hate with equal sincerity, never flinching at our feeble attempts to contain it.  Fire’s magic extends from the hearts beating in the Fae folk and the controlled conflagrations that clear away dead undergrowth for new life, from the campfire warming weary adventurers to the angry demon consuming a family’s home.

How are you affected by fire?

Do you burn to ashes, or are you reborn in the inferno?

Transmundane Press is looking for short stories exploring humanity’s ancient friend and foe, fire.  We’re interested in your interpretation of the element. We’re only accepting 20 stories for this anthology.
