Darren and I are starting a new venture - Dust Publishing, a small indie press that will be publishing sff anthologies (maybe branching out a little later, into other genres and maybe novels). At the moment we plan a modest one or two a year. As this is alongside writing, we don't plan a massive business.
So, this is the first submission call for Dust Publishing. The first anthology is pure scifi, the full brief will be mailed out on monday the 24th July for all who are interested. The deadline for open submissions will be the 30th of September. Invitees get longer as we will need time to read all the open subs and make a decision on which to take. Remuneration details will be outlined in the full brief.
Basic summary - 5k to 10k words
All the stories will take place on a huge city built on an asteroid, think Manhattan island in space... Very open world, but a full brief will be mailed to interested parties. We are looking for dynamic and varied stories, the dark and grim, alongside bright and hopeful, crime, disaster, business, hard scifi, soft, whatever takes your fancy, to flesh out a living city in space!
We have some very good authors already in the line-up so you will be in very good company.
The line-up currently includes Nathan Hystad, Jo Zebedee, E.M Swift-Hook, Sam Primeau, Jane Jago, Scott Moon, Thadeus White, Juliana Spink-Mills and Chris Guillory, with a probably from Robert M Cambell and interest from Ralph Kern (though Ralph is extremely busy, so probably won't make this one...)
Sam Primeau will be editing and Jamie Glover will be doing the artwork.
We will be looking to take between 1 and 3 entries as well as the above list.
PM me or post here if you are interested.
