Open Calls
Extraordinary Beasts: Scales and Seas
There are just some extraordinary beasts out there that don’t get enough love. Here at Opal Kingdom press we want to share the limelight!
I promised you an anthology for one of our more common creatures was coming and here it is. In Scales and Seas I want to focus on Merfolk and Selkies, creatures that share their lives with land and sea. The creatures can be the good guys, the bad guys, the somewhere in between. I would love to see some frightening and villainous creatures as well as heroes and heroines.
Genre: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, or SF. Light horror would also be fine.
Word Count: 6,000-10,000 words
Due: September 12th for an October release.
Rating: PG-PG13. This isn’t the place for excessive or explicit content. I’m not looking for message fiction or heavily RL political or religious statements. Fantasy clerics, kings, etc, etc, are fine. Connections to RL religion or myth is also fine so long as it’s respectful. Use your best judgement.

Extraordinary Beasts: Fires and Fangs
There are just some extraordinary beasts out there that don’t get enough love. Here at Opal Kingdom press we want to share the limelight!
I promised you an anthology for one of our more common creatures was coming and here it is. In Fires and Fangs I want to focus on dragons and other dragon type creatures: wyverns, drakes, firelizards, and all their kin! The creatures can be the good guys, the bad guys, the somewhere in between. I would love to see some frightening and villanous creatures as well as heroes and heroines. Dragons from cultures beyond Western Europe would be a particular delight.
Genre: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, or SF. Light horror would also be fine.
