We open for submissions July 7th! We're looking for dark fantasy, sword and sorcery, and Arthuriana (and all combinations thereof). We pay 8c a word, and $50 for poems. More guidelines available here: www.oldmoonpublishing.com/submissions

I know Michael has been excited for this for a while. Killer concept, great authors, fun fiction, what isn't to love?

An amazing beginning to an amazing project! As someone who got an early read of @michaelastackpole.bsky.social ‘s Neryon stories you aren’t going to want to miss them. Go check out Chain Story and share with your friends, families and casual acquaintances. Enjoy!

Putting on my Publisher hat, I have an announcement: Augur Press will be open to submissions of Novellas & Novelettes from both agented and unagented writers starting THIS WEEK! It’s not open yet. But while we wait… AMA about publishing with this fledgling small press.

Old Moon Quarterly is funded! This is as good a time as any to remind everyone that we open for submissions on July 7th. We're looking for dark Arthurian short fiction up to 10k words. We pay 8c a word. We're looking for Arthurian poetry, up to 50 lines. We pay $50 a poem.

It has come to my attention that some folks missed this crowd-funding campaign. Old Moon Quarterly is a great magazine that has been supplying top-notch fiction and art. This is not one you want to miss. (Pledge, like and repost, it really helps.) Thank you. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

I have a new project ramping up. Website launched Monday and we'll have the first of our free fiction content later this week. Head over, take a look, and please share with friends ( acquaintances, folks you only see in elevators or enemies, I don't judge). www.chainstorycore.com

We publish many new & emerging authors; they, and all writers, deserve pro pay. Our First Readers write personalized comments in all replies; they deserve an honorarium. If you read BCS and you're able to support, please consider it. If you have, THANK YOU. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 2/2

Yay!!! These stories dazzled, horrified, fascinated, filled me with hope. How diminished this the world would be without queer voices, queer stories, queer magic and prophecy and brilliance!

Two more days for this part of the call! But if you miss it, or aren't eligible for this part, we'll be open again in October. 📚

I’m late to the party but Luana @minillajovovich.bsky.social wrote the cutest cozy romance in this collection! You should buy it.
