Are You Everything Alright

A project of Air and Nothingness Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2026). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Modern society is progressing toward nothing worth arriving at.

Human rights, gender rights, immigrant rights, disability rights, climate rights, work rights. We are looking for stories about apocalypse issues, but those where people on the side of decency come out on top and those opposed have a very bad day. We'd like to see hopeful endings. This theme is subject to interpretation.

For this open call we want submissions comprising the last 15 minutes of the action/SF/fantasy story/film/book: the hero fights the dragon, the last ship departs the dying planet, the last desperate gambit of the remaining members of the team to defeat the final foe. Start your story mid-action if you like.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
