Sans. Press: No Gods No Masters Anthology
They are open now for a fiction anthology, and want submissions that respond to the theme is No Gods No Masters and/or their cover art (see guidelines). “In great magical battles, or in a conflict between the smallest of creatures, reality is built by the echo of voices refusing to be silenced. While those in power might try to conduct the world under the rhythm of their wishes, again and again voices will rise in dissonance, claiming to be heard as they are. … we want to celebrate stories that live and die by the motto of fresh & weird; characters that refuse to be anything but themselves, and that will remake the worlds around them rather than be broken down. We are looking for revolutions that take any shape or form – individual, symbolic, magical, political, subjective – as long as they are motivated by the authentic pursuit of change.
No Gods No Masters is an anthology for the stories that are ready to get their hands dirty in the making of a newer, fairer world; it is for the characters that are driven not for the love of power but for solidarity, for genuine belief, and for a refusal to surrender to cynicism and despair.” And, “All genres of writing are welcome; more than any specific story or style, we want the emotional response the title and artwork evokes in you.” They will remain open for submissions until the deadline, or until their submission cap is met, whichever is earlier. Submission is via a form on their website.
