SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTION: FRESH STARTS
The world gets reset each time we figure out creation. I use "we" loosely, because it could be any intelligent life-form on any planet. There are Higher Beings controlling each universe, and they compete with each other to come up with unique ideas on how to start/form a new planet and lifeforms. They wipe it out and start over again when the lifeforms figure it out.
Now accepting short story submissions for this science fiction collection of creation ideas! We will accept between 4 to 6 stories of approximately 10,000 words each. A few established genre authors have been contacted and personally invited to participate, and so far the response has been favorable. This is your chance to be published alongside some greats in the science fiction genre. Space is limited, and quality stories are accepted on a first come basis. Royalty agreement will be negotiated at time of acceptance. Contract will be one year exclusive publishing rights, then the book will remain in publication indefinitely but you are free to publish your story elsewhere after one year.

HORROR COLLECTION: CLOWNS AND DOLLS
Now accepting short story submissions for a horror collection featuring stories about clowns and dolls. Someone asked if mannequins are okay. Probably! Show me what you got! Prefer stories between 6,000 words and 10,000+ words. Title is tentative and will most likely change once the collection shapes up. Will accept between 4 and 8 stories, depending on the length of the chosen submissions. Artwork is already in progress. Keegan Strickland, the artist who did the cover for our title The Bacchanal, is doing this one as well.
Optional story ideas: Anything that is a corruption or a twist on things traditionally considered innocent or childlike, such as games of hide and seek or imaginary friends. Please, no sexual abuse or child abuse for these stories. If you have a story like that to tell we have plenty of options for true story collections featuring your stories of abuse. No, this collection is for entertainment, so stay away from abuse. If enough stories that fit this theme come in to make it a separate collection on it's own, we will do that. If not, they will be considered for this collection.

We Fell Through the Cracks
This is a nonfiction, true story collection. If you have a story to tell of how a system has failed you, we want it! Examples include injustices in the legal system, welfare system, religious institutions, medical care, mental health care, and many others. This is your chance to have your voice heard; to tell your story. Change names and write it anonymously if you have to, but we want to expose the holes in the system and raise awareness of these issues! We will also accept stories written about others. If you are a professional who deals with the abused, the poor, the mentally ill, or any other minorities, we want to hear from you, too. This is the place for the stories of the times the system and society as a whole has failed to help or do justice. This is the place for the stories from the people who are living the daily struggle of oppression. We want your stories of coming out to your family and to society. We want your stories of struggles with addiction. We want to hear how you fought for years to keep custody of your children, or about the daily struggle with poverty.
