About

Grace&Victory is looking for comfy, cosy, low-fi stories for our next anthology. What do we mean by "low-fi"? Stories with low stakes and small rewards, little triumphs, happy chances. We don’t want world-shattering consequences or dark nights of the soul or single decisions that put it all on the line. We want stories that leave you a little bit better than they found you. Our influences are Studio Ghibli, Ursula LeGuin, slice-of-life manga, and other such comfort reads.
