Call For Submissions: New Hampshire Pulp Fiction on fantasy
Come all ye tale-tellers, yarn-spinners and bards! The sixth volume of the New Hampshire Pulp Fiction series is now open for submissions—and your submission needs to be fantastic: literally!
Volume VI, tentatively titled “Live Free or Dragons,” is seeking New Hampshire-based fantasy fiction. Elves at the town meeting, unicorns in the White Mountains, or supernatural lumberjacks in the north country. If you’ve known the magic of a bright autumn day, hoped to meet a faerie on the streets of Nashua, or felt that something wondrous might lurk in the chill of a boulder cave, this anthology is for you. Your story can be contemporary, historical or other-worldly—as long as it features a strong New Hampshire connection.
Author Elaine Isaak has edited Volume IV, “Love Free or Die,” and Volume V, “Live Free or Ride,” and will edit the fantasy collection, which is scheduled for release in autumn 2016, said George Geers, of Plaidswede Publishing in Concord. Previous editions, edited by Rick Broussard are “Live Free or Undead” (horror), “Live Free or Die! Die! Die!” (detective/mystery) and “Live Free or Sci-Fi” (science fiction).
