SUMMARY:F - Open Submission Call for Raconteur Press Anthology Series Theme: Alien Family Values - Chosen Kindred
DESCRIPTION:Alien Family Values – Chosen Kindred\nWith guest editor Sandra Medlock! \nIn the midst of war\, family life goes on\, taking new form as adoptions\, fosters\, and blood relatives all choose love over conflict. Disruptions leave civilizations reeling in the wake of battles\, while homes shelter aliens\, humans\, any species that need succor. \nTell us the stories of how this happens\, who is involved\, what the consequences will be\, and why it came to be that this choice was the best possible outcome. \nFrom Sandra: “I’d like to focus on positive stories for this volume—a family emphasis\, but one that doesn’t go dark. Pretty close to what we had in the first\, but a feel-good\, family-first vibe.” \nOpens: 05/10/25\nCloses: 06/29/25\nContracts: 07/12/25\nPublication: 08/08/25 \nGuidelines for all our anthologies (psst! this is important!): \n5\,000 to 8\,000 words. Length and genre are negotiable\, as long as the story fits the concept and is entertaining. Any submission must be in Times New Roman (preferred\, but you can use Georgian or other readable font)\, 12PT\, double-spaced\, with your name\, title of the story\, and your email on it. Name the file as [STORYTITLE]-[YOURLASTNAME]—[ANTHOLOGYTITLE]. Send it in a .docx format as an attachment—no links. Refer to the submission guideline graphic below for how to format your story—It has all the information you need! Feel free to download it for reference. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRaconteur Press will hold the rights for one year after publication; after one year\, the rights will revert to the author\, but we continue to pay you as long as the anthology is selling. Authors receive an equal percentage share of the proceeds from the anthology\, along with the Press\, our editors\, and administration. Yes\, you read that right. We don’t take 80% off the top and split the 20% left over between all the authors. We’re all in this together. This is why our anthologies are limited to ten stories. \nIMPORTANT: PLEASE do NOT submit stories until the date the call opens. We don’t want to hang on to your piece for longer than necessary. You might find another market for it\, or it decides to grow into a novel\, or…so go ahead and write it\, but tuck it away\, and revisit it before submitting. \nRaconteur Press uses Pubshare (pubshare.com) to distribute payments and handle tax forms for anthology authors\, so authors who contribute must have a free Pubshare account. \nIMPORTANT: when you set up your Pubshare account\, you MUST choose the method by which you want to receive your royalties. There are currently two choices: PayPal at the beginning of each month\, or paper cheque each quarter. BE SURE that you have chosen a method of payment and input the required information. If you don’t\, Pubshare will hang onto your royalties until you choose a method of payment and input the required information. \nDOUBLE SECRET PROBATION IMPORTANT: One story submission per anthology. And the counting of submissions shall be one submission. The number of submissions shall not be two. Three is right out. \nSubmit to: racpresssubmissions[at]gmail.com \nQuestions about our publishing schedules can be addressed to Production[at]raconteurpress.com. \nFinally\, if you want to ensure your manuscript is read and is seriously considered for publication\, read this. \n\nPrintable schedule and open call list of 2025 anthologies can be downloaded here.
