Deadline: October 31st, 2017
Payment: $5, royalties, and a contributor’s copy

This annual collection of funny paranormal stories is the press’ flagship series. Your tale must be funny (no depressing endings) and have supernatural/paranormal elements. Examples of stories from previous collections: Homicide is summoned to a halfway house for the undead, a Shriner becomes a weregoat, and a mummy regrets hiring a cheap embalmer.

Story length should be 2000-6000 words. If you sub something of a different length, it better be really funny. The submission window is October 1st – October 31st, 2017. Please do not sub sooner. Publication of SF V will take place in April 2018 (our feet will be held to the fire).

Send your submissions to [email protected] with “Strangely Funny” in the subject line. If we buy your story, you will receive a free print copy of the book and a $5 USD advance on royalties. For further information on royalties and publishing rights, please go to our Guidelines and Payment page.
