About

Theme: Existing urban myths with an alien origin. The prize this year is publication in Jennifer Brozek’s upcoming Apex anthology Close Encounters of the Urban Kind. Jennifer’s anthology is invite only, so these will be the only open spots available to non-solicited manuscripts. Her anthology can be described as “combining the dark allure of urban legends with the high stakes of alien encounters”.

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.
