Greetings! PLEASE CLICK on the SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Icon Below for Details About Word Counts, Pay Rates, Genres, Contracts, and More!
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 :-).
THIS IS A SUMMARY ONLY. Please click on Submission Guidelines under “The Rules” below to read about word counts, pay rates, contracts, and more. (FYI we reject word count busts unread.)
We explore intrepid culture: our stories feature four elements in every story: danger, struggle, emotion, and OVERCOMING.
Our stories are intrepid first and not subordinated to other themes.
We welcome many genres and writing styles, including literary, speculative fiction (science fiction & fantasy, literary sf), action and adventure, romance, magic realism, historical fiction, and others. We love odd, quirky, experimental stories and humor.
We aren’t a horror or dark fiction market because we promote fearlessness. See more under Submission Guidelines below.
Please help us respond to every author by using the William Shunn format (minus address).
What are you waiting for? Go for the gutsy! 🙂
