There are many presses out there publishing anthologies — collections of short stories from different authors. But most are only open for a few weeks or months at a time, and it can be difficult keeping track of which ones writers can currently submit to.

With that in mind, I’ve rounded up anthologies from four presses that are open for submissions right now! Good luck and godspeed, fellow writers.

Brigids Gate Press — Gothic Romance

Brigids Gate are looking for gothic romances that are equal parts horror and romance — containing both a creeping sense of dread and a happily ever after (or happy for now) ending. A strong sense of place is necessary, and they want stories from women or non-binary individuals.

Submissions should be sent here, and the full submissions guidelines can be found here.

Word count: 2,000–6,000 words.

Payment: $0.08 per word.

Quill and Crow Publishing House — Horror

This is actually six anthology calls in one, because Quill and Crow have a big lineup for 2023 and 2024! In order, they are looking for stories of winter
