Our process is challenging. Competitive. Stories navigate a multi-step process to publication.
A story must speak to us, exemplify intrepid culture, and potentially delight readers.
A tall order.
Give Us Gutsy Words. Fascinating Words. Alarmingly Individual.
The fighters, the curious, those who win against the odds. The intrepid.
That’s what we want. Emotion.
Write stories just for us.
But first, read our stories and watch the video (again :-).
We explore intrepid culture. Fearless. Gutsy. Entertaining.
Our stories are intrepid first and not subordinated to other themes. Stories must be goal-oriented, driven by a character’s action, fearlessness, and triumph, inspiring readers.
We welcome writing styles such as literary and multiple genres, including speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy, literary sf), action and adventure, magical realism, historical/nautical fiction, and others. Bring on the humor, but also the craft. We want excellent stories inside and out.
We don’t publish horror or dark fiction, romance, poetry, or children’s or adult fiction.
Submission Guidelines are below. You must read them to submit a story.
