Modern Mythology Anthology, a reminder

~ saturnreturnspub ~ Leave a comment

Hello, folks! I received a recent message from a contributor on Facebook asking about the deadline for the anthology’s submissions. I totally understand the confusion. The original deadline was June 1, 2017. We decided to extend that deadline to August 1, 2017 to better accommodate some of the interested authors who had other pressing deadlines.

We’ve received several submissions already, but we are still accepting submissions through August 1. The more the merrier. We’re amazed at how many authors have entrusted us with their work for this first effort with an anthology and hope that we can do them justice.

An artist has been contacted already for a concept design for the cover image. She is a talented tribal artist in Council Bluffs, IA. Philipp, one of the editors of the anthology, has known her for years. The idea of the anthology intrigued her and after a conversation she said she already had a few ideas in mind. We’ll keep you posted on progress with that element of the collection as well.

So, in short, the deadline is August 1, 2017 for the Modern Mythology Anthology. Get your submissions in as soon as possible. Here’s a link to details on the anthology submission process. We look forward to reading your work!
