“A Few Good Stories” — Re-Launch Closed, Re-Quest Antho Still Has Spaces Open

Remember RE-QUEST?  The reprint anthology to come out from Pole to Pole Publishing that had accepted my S&S tale “The Blade of Gudrin” (see February 2)?  While its companion science fiction volume RE-LAUNCH has been filled (including by me, see February 4), the all-fantasy RE-QUEST still seeks a few good stories.  There are a few rules, or as Editor Kelly A. Harmon points out:  RE-QUEST requires dark fantasy reprints on the theme of “quests.”  For both anthologies, stories should be 3,000-5,000 words and meet the central theme of the anthology.  Reprints currently [image error]available on line are not eligible.  Preference is for stories that haven’t been published in at least a year.  Older reprints will carry more weight than new ones.  Also, as I recall, preference was for “classic” fantasy as well, of course, that the [a]uthor must possess the rights to offer the story for submission.

So if you’ve got a sword and sorcery story, or grimdark, or otherwise darkish fantasy published a while back that you rather like and would like to share with a new group of readers (as well as receiving a small payment for it), just check out the guidelines by pressing here.  But you’d do well to hurry.
