2 Anthologies Seeking Submission

Some great forthcoming anthologies are currently seeking submissions.
The Shellgame: An essay anthology
Submissions are open for an anthology of essays that borrow readymade forms, to be published by
the University of Nebraska Press in 2018.  What they mean by readymade forms is essays that borrow their structures from ordinary, extra-literary sources (a recipe, a police report, a pack of cards, an obituary…). Payment is $100, plus two copies of anthology, plus $100 coupon to UNP Books. They are seeking brand new work. Submit only through Submittable. Simultaneous submissions are fine as long as you notify the editor of acceptance elsewhere as soon as possible. Deadline is June 1, 2016.

Untitled Sci-Fi Fairy Tale Anthology

Submissions are now open for an anthology that explores the fantastic realms of fairy tales through the lens of science fiction. They want fairy tales, fables, and myths from around the world. They are looking for new twists and fresh perspectives with a modern, diverse audience in mind. It is co-edited by Jaylee James and Lyssa Chiavari.  Stories should be between 2,000 to 10,000 words in length. Submissions must be made by April 8th, 2016. Royalties are divided evenly per story (co-authors for one story split their share). Learn more here.
