Deadline: November 5th, 2024 Payment: $5 USD per 1000 words Theme: Speculative Fiction tales that take place under water! This planet (and surely others like it) are mostly covered in water, and while we know a bit about life there, what mysteries might still lie far down within its depths? From gripping narratives that explore the ocean, the discovery of lost civilizations, or the dangers of creating underwater colonies, we are seeking stories that examine those worlds, and transport readers to a place that is both familiar and fantastical.

Payments occur via PayPal, so please have a PayPal account into which we can pay you. We will also provide you with a digital copy (epub and pdf) of the finished manuscript. (Paperback and hard cover editions will be available via Amazon.) We're looking for speculative fiction across all anthologies (unless otherwise specified).
