Cosmic Quest Anthology A project of Strange Quark Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (November 2024). We provide the following information as an archive. About For Cosmic Quest, we’re looking for stories, poems, and essays with a retro SciFi or Fantasy vibe that explore the theme. These might include the pursuit for knowledge, dangerous ideas, or a thirst for adventure… or something much darker and more sinister… like trying to complete a dissertation without your cat by your side.
