How to submit to a LegendFiction Anthology

Special Updates

We’ve been testing our anthology process and listening to feedback, and we’re making it better!

As much as we love giving feedback, our volunteer mentors can't reply to all stories at all stages. We're building a better system.

No need to send in a pitch any more. Each anthology eliminates guessing and now clearly explains:

- The story theme & tropes - The kinds of characters we want to see - Important story pieces to include - Rules to follow

Less guesswork makes your creativity easier!

Send your story before the deadline.

The anthology mentor reads every story.

When 10 stories are chosen, we share the list.

Only those writers get constructive feedback.

You’ll have 7 days to make improvements and resubmit your story.

These anthologies stay open until enough strong stories come in or the project closes.

The mentor reviews stories privately. Feedback isn’t part of this stage.

When 5 publishable stories show up, we add a deadline to the open call!

Your mentor will work to give you provide structural feedback and suggestions on your story up to the deadline.

Stories re-submitted 7 days after the deadline will pass or fail based on their excellence.

Deadlines are flexible, and may be adjusted if we receive 10 publishable stories earlier than expected.

If we don't receive 10 publishable stories by the deadline, as determined by the sole and reasonable discretion of LegendFiction mentors, we may reschedule, remove deadlines, or archive an anthology.

If we receive more than 10 publishable stories, or an anthology concept is especially strong and exciting to our members, we may consider publishing a sequel anthology.
