A Climate Fiction (''Cli-Fi'') Anthology

Submission DEADLINE 3/31/2016
 

Call for Submissions: Sunbury Press Climate Fiction (Cli-Fi) Anthology. Sunbury Press (www.SunburyPress.com) is preparing to publish a Cli-Fi anthology with a title to be determined sometime in 2016.

The theme for this as yet unnamed anthology is Climate Fiction -- stories involving the imagined effects of severe climate change on our society set in the near future.

This is a new category of fiction we are pioneering. This is your opportunity to contribute to the foundational work in this genre.

Imagine a world where climate change has wreaked havoc on society, destroying or undermining the civilization we have built over thousands of years. What has changed? How do we survive? Do we survive? What challenges do we face? What new horrors lurk about? How brutal can mankind be when desperate?
Author compensation, upon publication, will be one contributor’s copy of the anthology as well as discounted copies for purchase by the authors.
Sunbury Press may need to keep your story for the entire reading-period, but may not be able to eventually accept it depending on the timing of other acceptable stories being submitted during the period.

Please do not call us about your submission.
