We started the year with a plan for six anthologies, one every other month. So . . . we couldn’t resist adding a seventh. If you love dragons like we do, then this will be the story to submit to, or buy.
Check out the submissions, or wait for the Kickstarter!
Inkd Pub submissions for three short stories have been received by the WSFA for their awards. We hope that these fine authors reach the finalist stage together. We’ll keep you updated.

Submission Period: March 1, 2024 to May 31, 2024
Theme: Impulse An explicit romance anthology; we’re searching for spicy romance. This will be a diverse and inclusive anthology with high heat levels accepted throughout.
There are no restrictions on gender or sexuality. Feel free to get warm in a snowed-in lodge in Colorado, let your shifters and cryptids frolic, break out Victorian lace, or set your story in deep space with alien first contact – we’re okay with it all.
Stories that contain infanticide, gratuitous gore, or rape, including dubious consent, will not be considered. BDSM within the grounds of the rules previously stated is acceptable.
Submission Period: March 1, 2024 to May 31, 2024

Submission Cost: Free
Word Limit: 2,000 to 8,000 words
Hidden Villains: Betrayed, a fantasy, mystery, and science fiction anthology is live on Kickstarter!
We’re offering some great opportunities to get your name in the acknowledgments, find new authors, and support some wonderful creatives. There will be some swag add-ons and limited-edition hardcovers available. We’d love your support!
Spooky Stories Wanted!
Theme: Noncoporeal II – we’re searching for the spooky stories. This is not horror, though there may be suspense and even a dash of horror. A spooky, haunting, incorporeal element is certainly expected. Humor and mystery beats are welcome.
incorporeal – Not composed of matter; having no material existence. At least one paranormal entity must fit this criteria.
Express yourself as the theme moves you.
