Submission Guidelines
First of all,
there are five
requirements that I demand for any of my anthologies. Before
proceeding to the specific guidelines for the various titles,
read those five
requirements. If you don't
read those five
requirements,
don't complain when I reject you. In case you missed it,
click here for the five
requirements.
I know, it seems absurd that I had to post
that link four times in one paragraph, but it has been simply astounding
how many people have paid them absolutely no attention and submitted
anyway. I get more submissions than I can count, and I'd rather reduce the
number of subs that simply don't meet my basic requirements.
Without further ado—assuming you've
read those five
requirements—here are links to my open anthologies:
Artifacts: Things Out of Time
and
Travelers: People Out of Time
A pair of time-travel anthologies.
Writers will submit only to Artifacts: Things Out of Time. Those
writers whose stories are accepted will then submit to the invitation-only
Travelers: People Out of Time. This is a two-for-one opportunity.

Salacious Tales 2
The first
Salacious Tales was about the most fun I've ever had doing anything,
so I'm accepting submissions for ST2. The first was illustrated—cover and
interior, with one B&W illo for each of the stories—by the amazingly
talented Aleksandar Ziljak, who brought a new level of creativity and
marvel to that antho. Aleksandar will return to illustrate ST2. Like its
predecessor, ST2 will feature quality erotic
speculative fiction: SF, fantasy, and supernatural horror. No smut here; only serious fiction
with erotic tendencies. The stories will range from titillating to
graphic, however.

Otherworld Hearts
In the vein of the
speculative fiction of Salacious Tales, Otherworld Hearts features
science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural stories where romance is key.
This anthology will transcend the cardboard writings of romance novels,
with stories that will appeal to women and men, set on other planets,
within other realities, or in other times.

Star Dreck
This began as a
series of Star Trek-themed parodies, but I couldn't get enough
quality subs. I combined them into one, and still have yet to get subs.
Mostly, I get fanboy fiction by writers who never actually read the
guidelines. This is now the anthology I've had open the longest—years!—and
I'd love to publish it. I have a few stories so far, but not enough for an
anthology. I'm giving this one more try.

Weird Maine
Originally, I was
doing two anthos: one of speculative fiction set in Maine, the other in
non-speculative fiction. I received no notable subs for the latter, and my
heart wasn't really in it. This antho has been open for some time, and I
have some great pieces, but not enough to publish. I'd like to see this
happen.
