Once Upon An Enchanted Forest: An Anthology of Romantic Witchcraft Stories
Their guidelines say, “The autumnal equinox marks the shift into darkness which completes on Samhain. Warmth is behind us, cold lies ahead. This is a time of Thanksgiving and kinship. However, in our stories, we also want to consider the theme of The Enchanted Forest. How can you place romance, sorcery, witchcraft, an enchanted wood, cottage, village, or castle into this theme? How can you play up the impending knowledge that everything is changing from light to dark? How can you take your characters from a time of celebration into a world of romance, magical intrigue, and sorcery?

What would lurk in your enchanted forest?

The autumnal equinox, magical/witchcraft elements, and romance must be included in some manner”. See guidelines for suggestions of the potential material writers can draw from. They enjoy historical, contemporary, and even futuristic tales. They are not looking for erotica or horror.
