DILIM Press incl. Anthology of Dark Fiction from the Philippine Diaspora: Open Submissions for Sirena's Song Gold Star Program Gold Star Fee: usd $3.00

Sirena's Song is our second anthology. We invite your participation: we welcome submissions by as-yet-unpublished writers as well as seasoned authors and poets.

Our goal at this time is to provide a home for work in this anthology that focuses on themes important to women and non-binary authors.

We'd particularly like to read your work if you feel your perspectives have not been well-represented in publishing.

Mermaids have traditionally been understood as sea-based creatures who navigate between the ocean and the land.

Many authors in the diaspora also navigate boundaries, submerge to the depths, and rise up with new ideas. If these concepts spark your imagination, please help us build this collection.

The stories of the Sirena are about humanity's needs, desires, imaginations, and intentions and are of and pertaining to the ocean, the sea, the islets and bays, the shores, and the rivers and waterfalls--here and in other worlds or other planets--where our kinfolk water-creatures might exist.

DILIM is not darkness: it exists between light and shadow to illuminate hidden realms of the archipelago.

About your submission to Sirena's Song

We're seeking your tales of thalassophobia, oceanic terror, underwater kingdoms, origins of the Yonaguni monument, creatures from Lemuria, musical echoes in the depths, or the dance of the stars in the heavens.

Share with us your fable about Amanikable, Amansinaya and Haik, WASP-34, or your imaginative stories of what fisher-folk or Navy sailors have seen in the night. Did the nuclear submarine ping a strange creature? Did unidentified submerged objects make an appearance? Share with us in your weird, wild fiction!

Send us your best work. We look forward to reading your submission.
