New Ceres

A project of Twelfth Planet Press (see other related projects).

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

About

Meet the world of New Ceres, an exciting and dangerous place. Its water is green and its inhabitants are sophisticates. On New Ceres you will find coffee houses and highwaymen, drinks, gambling and illegal hi-technology. We are looking for fiction of any length, and short “non-fiction” articles that explain an aspect of the society, history or world of New Ceres. We anticipate that the contents of the first several issues will be a combination of solicited and unsolicited works. Submissions will be open to writers in any genre. The only proviso here is that your work must exist within the context and reality of the world. We are equally happy to see swords at sunset, romance, space opera, humour, social comedy, horror …there are as many variants as there are writers. You can pick up characters already within or create new ones. You can have entire storylines within a corner of this world that is your own.

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.

  • 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.
