When we put out our open call last year, we committed to an author payment of $20 AUD - we want to pay our contributors!
If our Kickstarter campaign is successfully funded, we will be able to more than double that amount. An additional $30 will be added on top, bringing it to a total of $50 AUD
Looking to gauge interest for an anthology pitch centring sapphic goddesses and monsters.
Settings to include urban fantasy, political fantasy, historical fantasy and any combination limited only by imagination.

Day two of my under-loved #TransRightsReadathon recommendations is OBVIOUSLY about small press novellas! Because what could be more satisfying during a readathon than a stack of novellas?
