Guidelines:
Q. What are the
"Year's Best" submission guidelines?
A:
Stories and poems originally published in 2008 are eligible for consideration
for Volume 21 of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. If your
work was published in an anthology, magazine, or story collection
in 2008, have your publisher send a review copy to one or both of
the following addresses:
- Fantasy material goes to Gavin
Grant & Kelly Link, The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror,150
Pleasant St., #306, Easthampton, MA 01027.
email: yearsbestATlcrw.net
- Horror material goes to Ellen
Datlow at: PMB 391, 511 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10011-8436.
(Please clearly mark the envelopes for The Year's Best Fantasy
and Horror.)
- Works on the borderline of
fantasy and horror should be sent to both editors.
- Please don't submit material
published in the following magazines, since Ellen and Gavin and
Kelly already receive review copies directly from the publishers:
Realms of Fantasy, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction,
Asimov's, Weird Tales, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, Talebones,
Tales of the Unanticipated, Aurealis, Dreams and Nightmares, The
Magazine of Speculative Poetry, On-Spec, and Strange Horizons.
- If your work has been published
in a small or unusual venue that might be otherwise overlooked,
then you are welcome to send a review copy to Ellen's or Gavin and
Kelly's attention.
- Please don't expect a response
unless your work is selected for publication. (If you require your
submission returned, please include an SASE -- but because of the
volume of submissions we receive annually, we greatly prefer submissions
that don't require a response.)
- Works must be submitted by
December 31, 2008. The final selection of stories will be made in
January 2009.
