Last month to submit to the sorcery anthology

We want your sorcerous tales! We're looking for stories of audacious wizardry and mind-bending magic, rendered in fantastical prose. Submissions close midnight on the 31st July, so there's plenty of time left to send us your work for consideration.

Selected writers will be published in our second anthology, out early 2027. They'll also receive four free copies of the anthology, 50% off further copies, and a £20 honorarium. We also hope to arrange some lovely literary events with our contributors, just like our folklore anthology!

Find out more and send us your magical tales here!

Oaths and Offerings eBook out now

As well as the physical anthology, we're pleased to share that we now have a digital version available to purchase via the Kobo store.

If you don't own a Kobo e-reader, don't worry! You'll be able to read the eBook on other devices. And, if your library uses Overdrive, you'll be able to request it through your library as well.

Check out the eBook now via Kobo
