About

There are no beginnings to these stories. There are no middles. There are only endings.

For this open call we want submissions comprising the last 15 minutes of the action/SF/fantasy story/film/book:

the hero fights the dragon, the last ship departs the dying planet, the last desperate gambit of the remaining members of the team to defeat the final foe. Start your story mid-action if you like.

We are open to F/SF genre stories for this particular open call.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
