Hey all! I’m back from LibertyCon, and let me tell you, there’s some really cool stuff coming down the pike. Raconteur, Three Ravens, Chris Kennedy - they’ve all got some amazing projects in the works. And hey, would you look at that! They all have open calls out there!
Let’s take a few of them, shall we?
Calls
You can find all the details for July (and the following months) over on the #TeamAndMore site. There are nearly two dozen open calls in July. Before we get to that, though, there are still twenty open calls that don’t close until the end of June! That’s over three dozen open calls in the next few weeks.
Pick one or two, get cracking and get some stories out! You can find more details and links to the publisher’s sites over on the open call page at #TeamAndMore.

Also, while #TeamAndMore is intended as a resource for new authors, there’s no reason why you pros can’t take advantage of it, too. Got a space romance that you just can’t seem to place? Did that weird fantasy story of yours veer a little too much into the realm of horror for your usual markets? Don’t file those stories away - check out the open call listings and see if there might be a market for that unpublished gem you love!
Site Updates
As usual, we’ve been trolling only the finest interwebz to find you even more and varied open calls. If you’re on Facebook, keep an eye out for new developments over that way - we’re going to launch a group to help highlight upcoming calls and let yin guys and all y’all talk amongst yourself around the water cooler.
There’s some more work going on under the covers as well. More on that as things develop. In the meantime - find an open call and get cracking!
