Modus Operandi Anthology A project of CultureCult Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2023). We provide the following information as an archive. About Modus Operandi gets its name from the Latin phrase that easily translates to Mode of Operating. However, the phrase now possesses a sinister meaning because it is often used in criminal investigations to denote a habitual criminal's method or patterns of behaviour. The stories which delve into the modus operandi of a criminal mind, shall be preferred for publication.
