Demagogue Press Anthology A project of Demagogue Press Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (March 2025). We provide the following information as an archive. About Demagogue Press is thrilled to announce an all-new playable reading experience— let’s call it an anthology+— that will take readers on a journey through Oregon and Washington. Inspired by the Royal Game of the Goose, we are now open to submissions for original works from Oregon and Washington based writers that include a quest or chase element and prominently feature iconic (or soon to be iconic!) locations throughout the urban, wild, and lost places in our backyards. We have an editorial preference for works in a “spooky speculative” vein including fantasy and light horror.This is a book that plays like a game and a game that reads like a book! Like Demagogue Press’s previous publication, Winding Paths, we’ll be offering multiple ways for readers to experience stories and interact with our locations. The cover, for example, will be a functional game board for our custom-made Pacific Northwest-flavored interpretation of the Royal Game of the Goose with spaces correlating to YOUR work and there will be short activities and mini-games inspired by the anthology theme and stories interspersed throughout. Contributors are responsible for writing great stories that can stand-alone. We’ll do the rest!
