Visions: Fantasy, Science, and Speculative Fiction
Submission Deadline: October 30, 2024.
VISIONS is the title for our our Autumn 2024 Community Service Anthology. For this collection, we are calling for stories and poems in the genres of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and/or Speculative Fiction.
Writers.com compares the three genres this way: "Science Fiction is a genre in which fictional science and technology plays an important role in society. By exploring how these futuristic technologies shape human behavior, those technologies become metaphors for our own social predicaments. "Fantasy, by contrast, describes stories that involve some form of magic. These could be magical worlds, magical powers, or magical creatures. The world being developed must be clearly fantastical, even if it’s set somewhere on Earth; these fantasy elements also drive the story forward, and can also be metaphors for real human conflict. Speculative Fiction encompasses these genres, but it also encompasses any genre where unnatural, futuristic, or supernatural elements exist within and are essential to the story." Pages Promotions acknowledges, and will accept, Dystopian Fiction as fitting into these genres. Submission Deadline:
October 30, 2024 Word Count: 200 - 20,000 words Multiple Submissions and Reprints Accepted No Entry Fee! The Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Speculative Fiction genres are diverse, extremely creative, and often involve mature themes, scenes, language, and characters. So, for this collection, we are allowing a lot of flexibility with what we will accept. However, we will reject stories and poems with graphic sex, instructional drug use, instructions for explosive design and detonation, violence against animals, and violence against children. For this book, we request that all content fall in or below the "Adult" rating. We will print a Reader's Advisory on the cover of the book, warning readers of potentially challenging material inside. Below is a list of the rating limits. Stories and poems that reach beyond these limitations will be rejected.
