About

What are we looking for? Stories that involve dragons. Note that this does not say "fantasy stories." Dark fantasy and horror stories will be considered for this collection, as will science fiction stories. The preferred story will be a fantasy piece involving believable characters with which readers can connect, a sound plot which is resolved through the protagonist's actions, which is written in a well-paced and flowing style. Sprinkled throughout this anthology will be science fiction and horror pieces (should they be received). Does that mean a mediocre science fiction dragon story will displace a better-written fantasy one, just so that a science fiction story can appear in the collection? No. If the overwhelming number of submissions are skillfully-crafted high fantasy stories, then that's what the anthology will be. I will choose the best stories for the collection, not a diverse sampling of lesser quality (but unique) ones.

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.
