Call for Submissions: Hybrid (anthology of Singapore speculative fiction)
Deadline: 30 April 2011

Call for submissions: HYBRID (anthology of Singapore speculative fiction)

We are planning to launch a sampler of Singaporean speculative fiction for next year’s Singapore Writers Festival.

We are looking for short stories that are:

  • between 2,000 to 6,500 words
  • speculative fiction– fiction that largely contains elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, alternate history/reality, and related genres.
  • primarily written in (UK) English
  • authored by Singaporeans or residents of Singapore (not necessarily PRs).

Submission Guidelines:

The theme for this anthology is “HYBRID“. Submissions should be constructed around this theme, but the theme is open to individual author’s interpretation. The hybrid in question could be a biological hybrid, technological hybrid, cultural hybrid, thematic hybrid etc.

We would strongly prefer that submissions be linked to something Singaporean, whether in terms of setting, character, or themes inspired by life in Singapore e.g. overcrowding on public transport, etc.

We will be accepting submissions between the 1st January 2011 and 30th April 2011.
