Opulent Syntax: Irish Speculative Fiction
Description
Limited Demographic: writers living in Ireland and Irish writers abroad
The anthology will include short stories of speculative fiction from writers living in Ireland and Irish writers abroad. We’re particularly interested in stories that explore rich, varied and nuanced understandings of gender, family and ethnicity.
stories of speculative fiction that explore the breadth of Irish identity, including immigrant or Irish Traveller/Mincéir narratives and queer/trans narratives. We’re open to work of any genre that has a speculative aspect at its core, including fantasy, horror, science fiction, narrative hybrids, the weird, slipstream, utopian/dystopian, alternate history and other less definable genres.. Stories set outside of Ireland should be concerned with some aspect of Irish experience.

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.
