These Dreaming Hills
Description
Limited Demographic: authors with strong ties to the Appalachian region
The future happens everywhere, and all who lay their head to rest dream dreams. It is with the rich culture, history by turns painful and joyful, and extraordinary landscape of Central Appalachia as their inspiration that the publishers of These Dreaming Hills call on writers with strong connections to the region to submit stories of fantasy fiction, fantasy, and fabulism for this new anthology.
The strength of the Appalachian people lies in diversity. Indigenous, African, and European traditions are the taproots of our folkways, but people from all over the world created, and continue to create, our culture. These Dreaming Hills will reflect our past heritage, current lives, and our shared future.
Submission details: We will publish original stories rooted in central Appalachia dependent upon broadly defined notions of speculative fiction, written by authors with strong ties to the region. All the elements of good fiction are, of course, required, but Appalachia is made up of its people, so strong characterization is an absolute necessity.
