\nInklings Press
\n<\/strong>They are looking for fiction on pirates for their anthology. Their guidelines say, \u201cPirates is the theme this time – but pirates in all their richness. Give us regular pirates, ghost pirates, space pirates – more! Anything that fits the general theme of pirates is fair game.\u201d Also, \u201cFor graphic content, probably best to think in terms of a PG-13 audience. We don’t tend towards erotica and rarely have characters swearing like sailors though an occasional swear word may be appropriate.\u201d
\nDeadline: 18 October 2019
\nLength: Around 5,000 words; will accept stories a little longer or shorter
\nPay: $50

After Dinner Conversation
\n<\/strong>They want short fiction in any genre, from any perspective, including stories for children and young adults.

Le Guin or the convenience store scene from Chuck Palahniuk\u2019s \u201cFight Club<\/a>.\u201d The point is, the short story should be interesting as a short story, but also have a deeper point for a longer discussion. If you are hurting for deep ideas to write about, you might want to watch these Crash Course<\/a> videos on Philosophy. Of course, the best thing to do is read other short stories on the website.\u201d They publish only short stories \u2013 not poetry, novels, or artwork.
