Call For Submissions | We're looking for feminist genre fiction!

We’re looking for novels, novellas, and short story collections that bring a literary depth and flair to genre fiction—specifically sci-fi, horror, fantasy/romantasy, and speculative fiction.

Please consider how your submission is aligned with Feminist Press's decolonial feminist mission. If you use the conventions of sci-fi to script an alternative world, does your plot interrogate its kinship to empire? How might your horror story mirror and warp the grim details of our global slide towards fascism, or the queer and racial politics of monstrosity?

If your work spikes genre with social critique and moral reflection in the vein of María Fernanda Ampuero, K-Ming Chang, N. K. Jemisin, Megan Milks, Carmen Maria Machado, Ted Chiang, Alison Rumfitt, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, or other comparable voices, please send it to us!

Opens Monday, May 18 at 10 a.m. EST and closes at 10 a.m. EST on Friday, June 5 or when we hit our submissions limit.
