SUMMARY:F  - Myths\, Gods & Immortals Anthology Series Seeking Submissions about the Character of Anansi
DESCRIPTION:Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes\, characters\, gods and immortal figures. Myths\, Gods & Immortals brings together the new and the ancient\, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a classic mythological or folkloric figure\, with completely new stories alongside the original tales. New and emerging writers from open submissions\, reveal hidden themes\, casting fresh perspectives on well-known stories\, alongside specially commissioned text on the origins and the cultural background of the mythology. The first three books will focus respectively on Odin\, Anansi and Medusa. \n\nAnansi\nAnansi is at once a creator god\, a trickster folk hero\, a wily spider and a heroic symbol of resistance. From his origins in West African folklore\, to his lauded status in Jamaica\, Anansi is a versatile immortal whose many stories reflect the early world of his origins\, and the potential for re-imagination. Sometimes dark and chilling\, occasionally light-hearted\, but always lively and clever\, Anansi appears in the lives of everyday folk\, pricks the pomposity of the mighty and in this collection of new stories\, appears in the modern and the ancient world\, a symbol still of individuality and resilience\, adapting to City life\, with the undertow of ancient lore ever-present. Stories submitted for consideration need to explore new angles to the character: have him follow alternative paths\, present different viewpoints\, imagine new futures\, or perhaps pursue story lines that are hinted at in the original tales. \nSubmissions to: Anansi@flametreepublishing.com \nTerms:\n\nMultiple submissions are fine but must be in separate emails.\nSimultaneous submissions are fine but you must have the right to license your story in an anthology.\nFor accepted stories we pay Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) rates of 8 cents/6 pence per word for original stories\, 6 cents/4 pence for reprints.\nWe will aim to read each story and confirm its status within 4 months of the submission deadline.\nPayment for the chosen stories will be made within 30 days of the final advertised publication date (see our website flametreepublishing.com for details)\, although some may be paid earlier than that.\nSubmission does not imply the right to publication. Each story will be read and assessed by the selection panel.\nLet us know in your submission email whether your story would be a reprint or is currently unpublished.\n\nImportant Notice about Submissions and Guidelines\nWe’re always looking for better ways of working so we’ve tweaked our submission process to allow us to read more stories\, and spend more time assessing the balance of our books. So follow these rules to avoid your story getting lost in our system! \n\nSubmissions must use the dedicated email address.\nThe subject line of the email must be the story title.\nThe file with the story must be attached to the email (.docx\, .doc or .rtf format).\nThe name of the file must match the name in the subject line.\nIf submitting more than one story\, please submit one story per email.\n\nOther useful tips for a more successful submission:\n\n\nThe file name of the submission must be the story name only.\nPlease just use spaces between words in the title (not _ or – ).\nIf the story name starts with A or The\, please use it at the beginning of the file name.\nIf you’d like to add some details about the story\, confirm if it’s new or a reprint\, or add a short bio of yourself\, please add to the body of the email not as an attachment.\nStory length is most likely to be successful at 3\,000-4\,000 words\, but we will still read stories slightly outside this range.\nIf submitting a story that has recently been submitted to us for consideration to another anthology\, please state this in the submission email.

I’m looking for writing that reflects the drive that nature has to just be\, no matter where the boundaries lie. I’m looking for innovation of craft and thought. Not just dandelions squeezing through the gaps between paving slabs\, what about the re-wilding of rivers\, what about the window box encouraging pollinators in a high rise flat\, what about the nightingales singing from the overgrowth of an industrial estate’s wasteland. Grow your thoughts\, let your poems flourish. Where is the connection to nature that doesn’t conform to stereotype? How do you connect to nature if your life is constrained by circumstance\, disability\, societal?  Nature Unbound is about thinking outside of traditional nature writing tropes. I’m excited to see where you take it.”
