Zombies Need Brains Call for Subs

Publisher Zombies Need Brains, LLC has announced a call for submissions for two upcoming anthologies, Familiars and Last-Ditch.

Familiars is to feature science fiction, fantasy, or urban fantasy stories where the story revolves around some type of animal familiars (or human familiar). We would like a wide variety of genre settings for this anthology. In other words, we don’t want the entire anthology to be urban fantasy settings. As always, we are looking for a range of tones, from humorous all the way up to dark. We welcome submissions from diverse voices. We DO NOT accept anything that includes gratuitous violence or sex. If you really want to know what we like, read our previously-published themed anthologies.

Last-Ditch is to feature military science fiction, fantasy, or urban fantasy stories revolving around spies, espionage, and last-ditch Hail Mary efforts to turn the tides of war. We would like a wide variety of genre settings for this anthology. In other words, we don’t want the entire anthology to be science fiction settings. As always, we are looking for a range of tones, from humorous all the way up to dark. We welcome submissions from diverse voices. We DO NOT accept anything that includes gratuitous violence or sex. If you really want to know what we like, read our previously-published themed anthologies.

The deadline for both is December 31, 2023. Payment is eight cents per word. For full guidelines, and to submit, see zombiesneedbrains.moksha.io. Queries should be sent to contact@zombiesneedbrains.com.
