Expect to see a little bit of this and a little bit of that within each issue, so feel free to submit stories from any genre. Current theme: TREASURE Treasure. As soon as you hear the word, you know that there is some sort of story hidden away there waiting to be dug up. For me, it is gold and silver in a rusty chest, buried somewhere beneath a cross on a desert island.

Taking Submissions: Through Other Eyes
Deadline: June 15th, 2020 Payment: $20 Theme: Speculative fiction with non-human protagonists Stories take us beyond the bounds of our own lives—into new worlds and new situations. Perhaps most importantly, they invite us into new minds. Through the eyes of the characters we temporarily become, we not only live other lives, but discover new ways of looking at our own. Speculative fiction takes us a step farther—beyond the bounds of humanity, itself. Through Other Eyes is an anthology of tales featuring non-human protagonists. Become someone—and something—else. Submissions are now open! We're eager for monsters, androids, vampires, elves, and aliens, but we're especially excited to meet species of your own design. Familiar or new. Humanoid or non. Your imagination is in charge. Submissions will be open until at least June 15th but may run longer. The expected publication date is November 2020. Open to word counts ranging from 1500 words to 5000 words. Open to all speculative genres (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, slipstream, weird fic, etc) as long as the main POV character isn't human. No reprints. Accepted stories will receive a $20 honorarium. The anthology will be roughly double the length of a standard issue of All Worlds Wayfarer and feature both physical and digital editions. All standard submission guidelines, when not in contradiction with this list, apply. Standard Submission Guidelines We love stories that take us on tours through the fantastic—whether in other dimensions or in the hidden spaces of our own world. We're looking to highlight an often unseen side of speculative fiction: we want to encounter characters so vivid that our souls slip into their bodies, themes that challenge and move us, and language that makes us swoon. Immersive world-building and twisting plots are awesome aspects of our genres, but we're looking for stories where these factors are shaped around the...
