Submissions to Magic Portals Now Closed
Most people will never see one.
Most will never even hear of one.
Those few who do usually only get one chance to go through.
Dare you step through?
Submission dates December 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022
We want stories about magic portals that open up to other places, other worlds, other times, or just other. Where to, and what happens there is up to you.
For this anthology, please no extreme horror or sex. Please keep content and language limited to the equivalent of a “PG-13” rated movie. We want to be able to share this with our mothers and children.
There are no genre restrictions on this anthology, however the main premise of magic portals heavily implies fantastic/magical elements. Please keep this in mind if your story does not contain those elements. It will be up to the editors to decide if a non-magical portal fits the theme well enough.
Please make sure you read and follow all submission guidelines and look over the sample contract before you submit. In the text of your query letter, please include confirmation that you understand we are using Draft2Digital and that you must have an account there in order to receive royalties for your story.
