Submission Call: Alternate History Anthology


Thought for the Week: Success is being praised by others...Always aim for achievement and forget about success. ~ Helen Hayes

Deadline: January 15, 2012

Candlemark and Gleam seeks submissions for an alternate history anthology, Substitution Cipher, a collection of tales of deceit, betrayal, and espionage, in worlds that could have been our own.

Submit stories between 6,000 and 20,000 words, in any genre appropriate to espionage: psychological or action thrillers, war stories, dystopias, and picaresques are equally valid submissions. All stories must take place on an alternate Earth, and the changed timeline must have some bearing on the plot of the story. Any historical time period and geographical area is acceptable, from the invention of war up to the present day.

Pays $75 and two contributor copies of the print book (the anthology will be published in both print and digital form).
