Submission Call for TO BE MEN
An announcement from one of my (three) publishers:
SUPERVERSIVE PRESS
Submission call for “To Be Men: Stories Celebrating Masculinity”
If you are sick of today’s portrayals of men as bumbling idiots, of fathers as incompetents, of masculinity as “toxic” then I invite you to send us your best story featuring men at their best.
We want…
- Stories showing the masculine virtues in a positive light.
- Stories that introduce or reintroduce young men to the manly virtues.
- Stories that pay homage to men and masculinity.
Well-crafted, immersive stories (no present tense) in all genres (except horror) are welcome, but the manly virtue can’t depend on a speculative element, i.e. magic or superpowers do not make the man. You can have magic. You can have a superhero. But that’s not what makes him a man. It’s not what defines masculinity. Contact me at manlyantho@superversivepress.com if you’re not sure.
Submission deadline: Feb. 14, 2018
