Rooster & Pig Publishing Calls for Submission

[Rooster & Pig Publishing]

Rooster & Pig Publishing has the following open submission calls that lend themselves to a mystery, crime or thriller slant.



A Perfect System Anthology

It starts with an ideal. Some icon of perfection that everyone can agree upon. A better way of life for everyone. But at some point the ideal sours. When the government grows too large and the people too imperfect, the system breaks.

Give us your Dystopian worlds; show us how they started, what keeps them going, and the people who bring them crashing down. Tell us what happens to the government when it falls. Who comes in to replace it? Can they do better? Perhaps this government hides a secret? And perhaps the imperfect people are zombies?

R&P is seeking 20k- 35k word stories of dystopian fiction, and if you want to write a zombie apocalypse as the catalyst, we'd love it.

Deadline: December 31st



Self-Rescuing Princess

You can't wait around for prince charming, the poor fool is probably stuck in a tree somewhere and needs help getting down. These Princesses don't sulk in their ivory towers, they take up arms and slay dragons. They command respect in the courts of the monarchy. They lead their people to war.

R&P seeks stories of women getting out into the world and reaching for what they want, be it fame, fortune, a man, or another woman. Show us how they get knocked down and stand right back up.

Please send stories from 20k-35k words about your self-rescuing princess.

Deadline: August 31st
