Call for Submissions for the new Inscribe fiction anthology, NEXT! (a working title).
Inscribe announce the call for original short stories for their next anthology of fiction, edited by the internationally renowned and award-winning writer Leone Ross. Open to submissions from Black British writers.
The genre for this new anthology is speculative fiction. There is no specific subject matter or theme -- anything goes, as long as it’s good. What we are looking for is the weird and the unusual.
We define speculative fiction as an umbrella term, including multiple genres, where the writer speculates on or imagines what is not presently real or possible. This is fiction in which the laws of the fictive world are different than ours. This invites a whole series of political, social, psychological, alternate-historical and personal interpretations of reality.
Please Note: Our broad definition of 'Black British' is simply one of self-identification: i.e., if you are a writer ‘of colour’ born, raised, living, or have lived in Britain and self-identify as Black British, then we welcome your submission.
A maximum of two stories can be submitted. Length: min: 1500 words, max: 5000 words (preferred length 3000-3500).

Deadline: 1 December 2019
