THEME – “Winter Wonders”

Do you like to cozy up next to a roaring fire during a snowstorm? Does winter bring out the best in you… or the worst? Do you have a story of narrowly escaping an abominable snow beast, or finding romance during a blizzard in an enchanted cabin? Are snow-covered mountains the scenery of fabulous fables… or nightmares? Living snowmen, magical solstices, ice-crusted alien planets, whatever floats your iceberg. We want your stories that include “winter wonders”: stories of survival, interstellar adventures, or magical nights. Sci-fi, fantasy, weird-fiction, and everything in between—as long as your story has “winter” and “wonder,” we want you to share it with us. The submission window for Skullgate Media Presents: Winter Wonders opens March 1, 2021 and closes May 1, 2021.
