Submissions are open!

We are looking for original short stories, 7,500 words or less in the fantasy and science fiction genre inspired by our monthly theme. We especially enjoy quality stories with a geeky twist.

Monthly Themes

June Origins
Every story, every character, every thing has a beginning.
July Need for Speed
Speed, such as it is, is all relative.
August The Heat is On
The police, the weather, the blacksmith’s forge or the nuclear reactor; it’s getting hot in here.

 

Email your short fiction to InkandCursor@geekylibrary.com and include SUBS: [Title of the Story] in the subject line.

If your story is the best for submitted stories that month, we’ll send you an email with further details.

Good luck and stay geeky!
