The Best of Women`s Weird Fiction, Boudicca Press: Call for Submissions
Deadline: Fri 14 Sep 2018
Disturbing the Beast is a collection of weird fiction stories by some of the best women writers in the UK, featuring Kirsty Logan and Aliya Whiteley. We want you to join us! We’re looking for short stories from women of all ages in the UK (we include all people who identify as women) in the genre of weird and literary fiction.

We encourage submissions on lesser talked about female centred topics such as sexual abuse, pregnancy issues and body image. We’re keen to unearth these subjects in a healthy and respectful way, something that we feel is not often considered in mainstream contemporary literature.

We love:
•Strong female-led stories
•Stories that are filled with carefully considered, breath-taking prose •Stories that contain depth and reflection

•Only one entry per person
•Stories should be 500 – 6000 words

Full submission details here

Deadline: midnight on Friday 14th September 2018  

Support and fund the anthology: Kickstarter coming 1st September!!
