World Enough Writers Octopus & Other Cephalopod Anthology

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (May 2021). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Poet and cephalopod expert Sierra Nelson is editing an anthology to be released by World Enough Writers (an imprint of Concrete Wolf). Cephalopods include the octopus, squid, chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish, as well as extinct cephalopod species such as the ammonite. Work may be directly or tangentially cephalopod related, but the cephalopod invoked should feel like an integral part of the work. (Please note: A jellyfish is not a cephalopod.)

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • 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.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
