Welcome to this week’s edition of Submission Sundays. Every week I bring you a unique call for submissions to help you find a home for your stories or inspire a new one. Each call will contain a speculative element and will offer payment upon acceptance.
The Young Explorer’s Adventure Guide
Eligibility: Original science fiction adventure stories for readers aged 8 to 12-years-old from 3000 to 6000 words.
Caveat: judging is blind, so make sure your manuscript is scrubbed of your identifying information before submitting.
What makes this call stand out: a sale to the annual Young Explorer’s Adventure Guide is considered a professional sale and qualifies writers to join the SFWA.
Payment: $0.06 per word
Submit by: December 15th, 2018

This powerful article written in response to an RWA speech gutted me.
In further industry news, more information has come out in the strange case of literary agent Danielle Smith. Authors beware.

Thanks for sharing that thing about RWA. That was a deeply troubling and also deeply inspiring thing to read.

I thought so too. Crazy what goes on in publishing that we don’t know about.
