Taking Submissions: Revolutions & Rainbows
October 30, 2024
Deadline: October 30th, 2024
Payment: $25
Theme: Australian and New Zealand authors who identify as LGBTIQA+, from any gender identity, and ally authors sharing stories that feature LGBTIQA+ characters of any gender identity across the wide universes of speculative fiction. Swashbuckling pirates, mischievous necromancers, charming elder gods, dashing bounty hunters, anything goes!
We are excited to announce a new anthology, REVOLUTIONS & RAINBOWS: An Australasian Queer Speculative Anthology.
The anthology is to celebrate Pride and will be open to all Australian and New Zealand authors who identify as LGBTIQA+, from any gender identity, and ally authors.
We want stories that feature LGBTIQA+ characters of any gender identity across the wide universes of speculative fiction. Swashbuckling pirates, mischievous necromancers, charming elder gods, dashing bounty hunters, anything goes!
As REBELS & RAINBOWS is a celebration of Pride and the incredible and incredibly diverse LGBTIQA+ community, we want stories that celebrate love, acceptance, strength and community, and also stories that reflect the challenges, danger, and reality of being one’s true self in a hostile world.
The anthology will be edited by Leanbh Pearson, Alistair Ott and Austin P. Sheehan.
Submissions will be open from 14th June to 30th October.
We will not be accepting AI-written stories.
All contributors will receive a payment of $25 per story.
Our preferred length for short stories is between 4,000 and 6,000 words, however this is just a guideline, we won’t auto-reject stories based on word count alone.
If you have any questions, or are interested in supporting this project, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with ‘Rebels’ in the subject line.
