Apex Book Company: Do Not Go Quietly
\n<\/strong>For this theme, they want stories of resistance and revolution set within the science fiction and fantasy genres.\u00a0Their guidelines say, \u201cResistance can be a small act of everyday defiance. And other times, resistance means massive movements that topple governments and become iconic historical moments. Either way, there is power in these acts. What your characters are resisting is up to you, the writer. The things we fight against, the inequality, abuse, and unjust treatment are personal, and each define an individual’s life experience. Use your experiences, look at the world around you, and tell your story.\u201d

Unlocking the Magic: A Fantasy Anthology
\n<\/strong>Their guidelines say, \u201cIn fantasy, we read about how people with mental illness are more susceptible to magic, closer to breaks in reality, more likely to be able to see the unseen. These stereotypes are harmful and contribute to keeping people from seeing the good in getting help, taking their meds, or talking to someone.<\/p>\n

This anthology is about changing the narrative and telling stories of strength and perseverance, of getting help despite the darkness. Not the myth that getting help will kill creativity and magic. … I want stories that show what can be accomplished when we take care of ourselves and seek help. … I want to read realistic portrayals of mental illness in magical worlds.\u201d
\nDeadline: 1 November 2018
\nLength: 3,000-6,000 words
