About

We are currently accepting submissions for the anthology, "Clamoring Spring," a tribute to the legacy of Rachel Carson. As you (hopefully) know, Rachel Carson influenced the modern environmental movement during the 1960s with her groundbreaking book, Silent Spring. She brought to light the dangers of living in a toxic and polluted society. Her work prompted much needed environmental regulations and the removal of DDT from the market. Without her work, our world would probably be even more dire. Clamoring Spring, seeks to bring together fiction writers, poets, and essayists, to clamor, to share your voices about what the environment means to you. Much the same way The Last Man Anthology showed a broad range of voices on catastrophe and disaster, we're looking to pool together a collection of stories that projects a vision of how our generation regards nature, the environment and the world at large.

Collapse section Fiction Closed

Stories can be in any speculative genre, including: science fiction, fantasy, steampunk, magical realism, experimental, fabulist, historical, mythologic, catastrophic, alternative history, and so forth. Stories should be in some way relevant to the environment, but in no way need to be limited to Earth. The environment needs to be an integral part of each story, as defined by the writer. Nature doesn't need to be in jeopardy or doomed. Stories that are visionary in predicting and showing the future as a result of current living a plus. Writers should have a familiarity with Rachel Carlson's work, and her novel, Silent Spring. Fiction should seek to answer Carson's work.
