Out There
Sans. PRESS




Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.

From glowing eyes in the dark to the brief shimmer of starships, there are other realities on the brim of discovery for those daring to look! It may come in the form of visiting creatures, new inventions, pure magic or a deeply subjective perspective; but we know that other ways of existing are lurking out there.

For our ninth anthology, we want the stories that go beyond the boundaries of the known world; that dive deep into the imaginary, the mad, the uncanny or the simply unbelievable. We want to expand the limits of what is possible, and dive into the uncharted waters of experimental, speculative, or just plain weird.

OUT THERE is an anthology for stories that engage with new ways of being, and that embrace unapologetic weirdness. Between literary and experimental, sci-fi and speculative, that are no rules as to how you interpret the prompt; be as metaphorical or literal as you wish – as long as you promise to take us on an unforgettable journey.


This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
  • It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
  • The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
  • The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
  • The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
