Current calls:
Gothic Fantasy Series
- No calls currently open.
Beyond & Within Series
- Art is Horror - Deadline: 15th November, 2026
- Horror in art has historically served as a reflection of societal fears and anxieties evolving from medieval depictions of hell and plague to modern surrealism and psychological dread. Art in fiction has evoked the dangers of obsession with superficial aesthetics at the expense of life and soul. Art is never harmless decoration. This anthology will remind us that while art can preserve beauty, it can also trap, distort, or devour.
Myths, Gods & Immortals Series
- No calls currently open.
Romantic Fantasy Short Stories Series
- Fae Princess - Deadline: 13th December, 2026
- The Fae have been known for centuries as mercurial and unpredictable. Most powerful of all, the Fae Princess rules her kingdom in a manner that might perplex or even endanger humans. The meeting of different worlds can often lead to entanglements of the heart, stirring up conflict and endangering both those mortal and magical involved.
- Heroes & Villains - Deadline: 13th December, 2026

- Of Love Forbidden and Of Fae & Fire - Deadline: 31st December, 2026
- We are looking for line art to feature throughout the pages of our upcoming Romantic Fantasy anthologies. Four illustrations will be selected per title. Whether you're an established artist or an aspiring creator, we'd love to see your work.
