Do you have a short story about a disabled person that is set in the future or near future?
If you like short stories and understand the importance of inclusion in your idea of the future, I might just have an anthology for you. It’s a charity anthology (this means there is no payment being offered for any submission) with all profits from sales benefiting the Special Olympics .
Every MC must be disabled and yet resolve the crisis. The key element is to show a physically or mentally disabled character has no bar to being a great protagonist.
Age level: should be no racier than PG 13
Length: 1500-7500 words
Deadline: November 30, 2018
Send submissions to stephanieebarr@Dragonfaeriecreative.org with the
subject: Disabled Heroes
Format: Word .doc/.docx file, 1″ margins, 12-14pt Times (or other serif font), double-spaced, contact info and word count on first page, running header w/name, title, page #, etc. The usual stuff. And please include your name and the story title in the filename. Reprints can be submitted if you (a) have the rights and (b) it fits our criteria.
