The Garden Anthology

A project of Sans. PRESS (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (July 2024). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

For our eighth anthology, we want the stories that pick the fruit and take a daring bite; we want to watch the stains the juice leaves behind as it drips. We want to unpick the weaved tapestry of all that builds a garden – colours, taste, the senses, life, death, regrowth; the flowers and the bugs.

The Garden is an anthology for stories that engage with the living world in all its glory and messiness. From blossom to decay, stories can interpret the premise in any way; be as metaphorical or literal as you wish – just don't be afraid to get a little dirt under your fingernails.
