- Hex Gunslinger: Weird West Anthology
Submit by: March 1st, 2018
Submission by:Email (preferred) ( subs@radiantcrownpublishing.com )
Green Submissions or HeyPublisher
Brief Overview: Hex Gunslinger is an upcoming anthology of speculative, mysterious, and romantic weird western tall tales! Framed as an unearthed secret library years after the civil war, each story should hold the ethos of western expansion beginning in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase, and ending around the 1850s not necessarily restricted to a North American audience. Do not take manifest destiny as a mantra to live by. Shape a world with all the magic and mystery of the frontier without letting the ugliness of conquest be consumed with fantastic whimsy. We want wide open plains where violence ruled, underground movements brewing with tension, and the Wild Wild West in all it’s beauty and madness. Bring us your stories marking the age of the gold rush, injustice, genocide, mass immigration, transcontinental railroads, vigilante justice, telegraphs, outlaws, gunslingers, slick talkers, setting suns, and the impending civil war that would rip a nation apart. Full guidelines here.

- Weird Nature Anthology
Submit by: Submit by March 31st, 2018
Submission by: Email ( forceofnaturesubs@gmail.com )
Brief Overview:
Payment: $0.07/word up to 7000 words, $0.05/word for longer stories
Submission by: Email ( forceofnaturesubs@gmail.com )
Brief Overview:
Though our scientific knowledge has increased exponentially alongside technological development, there remains much about the natural world we still do not understand. Stories for Force of Nature should involve nature and the weird at their core; how the author wishes to interpret these themes is entirely up to them. Comedic stories will be a tougher sell but by all means, if you have a story that otherwise fits the guidelines, don’t hesitate to submit it. Try to avoid anything that is overtly cautionary. While the idea for the anthology was significantly inspired by climate change and the impact wrought on the planet by human habits, I don’t want stories that lecture. That said, I’m not opposed to stories in which the human factor gets served the short end of the stick.
While I don’t want a collection full of quiet stories, I will mention here that I am a big fan of the sublime. Wordsworth with a modern sensibility. Or just Wordsworth.
In terms of genre, I have no stipulations. Use a blank canvas and fit your story to the genus that suits it best. Full guidelines here.
