Open Call – Fantasy Stories
It's about time we do a Fantasy collection – either a story bundle (complete novels, 40k words or more) or an anthology (short stories or novelettes).

Open call for submissions – Grand Theft Unicorn
RIAH Publishing is taking submissions for the anthology Grand Theft Unicorn. Ocean’s 11 with ogres and trolls. The Italian Job pulled off using hippogriffs. Good Fellas done with dark fae. Leverage by way of Gandalf and Merlin.
