A paper boat floating on a paper sea

Our summer reading period is open now, and will run until Friday, 26th September, 2025.

This year, we’ll be running two separate call for submissions:

  • Our General Submission Call is our standard call for stories in any of the themes and styles we features in our anthologies.
  • We’re also taking submissions for our partner publishing house, Uncertain Stories. Find out more about that here, or on their website www.uncertainstories.com.

The deadline for both calls is midnight on Friday, 26th September, so please make sure to send in your work before then.

As ever, be sure to read our submission guidelines before sending in your work – and why not read one of our anthologies to get up to speed before submitting? Our latest volumes are the general fiction collection Inside Voices, and the supernatural collection New Ghost Stories IV.

Also this summer, we’ll be preparing the next Fiction Desk anthology, and making a special announcement about some new projects.
