Open Calls
There's really only one way to join #TeamAndMore, and that means getting your story into an anthology. So for you budding authors out there, here are some upcoming open calls you might want to take advantage of.
Caveat emptor! We try not to list anything sketchy, but (a) we're not lawyers, and (b) we're not you. So it's up to you to read the contract and figure out if the terms are acceptable to you. If they are, go for it! If not... move on.
Publishers & Authors - if you have, or know of, an upcoming open call that we should list here, please let us know! Oh, and nothing against magazines, either print or web - but we're all about the anthologies here, so that's all we're listing.
General Links
These are a selection of the better resources I use when I'm doing my own research and building out the Open Call list. Some publishers here are more receptive to new authors; others, not so much...
Duosuma maintains an extensive list of open anthology calls across a number of genres.
Three Ravens Publishing has its own list of open calls.
If horror is your thing, keep an eye on HorrorTree's list of Open Calls
Angelique Fawns frequently posts open calls on her blog.
WriteJobs collates a huge number of calls for submission of all types.
Cathy Bryant maintains a monthly Comps & Calls list.
Published To Death has a Calls for Submissions page.
Tim Major frequently publishes open calls on his blog.
If you suffer from poetry, you should check out A Dreaming Skin for monthly updates.
There are many Facebook groups for open calls (including magazines as well as anthologies):
