About

We are looking for stories from across the vast genre, from the classic myth creation stories of J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula L. Le Guin, or Terry Brooks, to the pulp majesty of Robert E. Howard’s Conan. The vast worldbuilding of Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman’s Dragonlance, Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, or N.K. Jemisin’s Inheritance books, all the way to the grim visions of George R.R. Martin and Joe Abercrombie. If your muse is more like the swashbuckling stories of Scott Lynch, or Brandon Sanderson’s detailed magic systems, or the thoughtful characters of K.S. Villoso, then we’re definitely interested. Fantasy is a deep and expansive genre, and we’d like to read what your imagination conjures!
