Black Beacon Steampunk Sleuths Anthology A project of Black Beacon Books (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (October 2024). We provide the following information as an archive. About The genre of mystery is designed to get the cogs cranking, but let's not forget that steampunk is all about cogs too! Why not bring them together? Steampunk Sleuths will be an anthology of four novelettes featuring detectives in a steampunk setting solving peculiar crimes. The only requirements for submission will be that the means of committing the crime (murder, theft, kidnapping...) must be clearly steampunk and the reader must be given the tools to crack the case before the solution is revealed. Think Agatha Christie and Jules Verne getting kinky together... um, actually, please don't. ;) Country of Publication & Year Established France Established in 2024 Publication Media & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationUnknown publication frequencyPrint Publication Print PublicationUnknown publication frequency Fiction Closed Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: Mystery/Crime Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: Short Story: 3,000 - 7,500 words.
