About

In the first half of 2022, Egaeus Press will publish a prestige limited edition (as yet unnamed) volume of stories and poems on the theme of BIRDS, for which a small number of spaces are open to anyone who would like to submit their work. We are looking for dark, antic, offbeat or uncategorizable pieces, taking on this loose and airy theme from real, re-imagined, imaginary, symbolic, metaphorical and/or mythical directions. The remit is open to most interpretations, though some knowledge of what Egaeus Press is all about – the sort of worlds which many of our publications occupy – is essential! We will generally be avoiding monster stories, Horror stories (with a big H), the gritty or urban, anthropomorphic pieces, or general tales of avian invasion... unless by a stroke of genius there is a truly unexpected angle to be had from any of these!
