Hellebore and Rue: Tales of Queer Women and Magic
edited by JoSelle Vanderhooft and Catherine Lundoff
We’re looking for stories about lesbian-identified sorceresses, witches, magicians and magic users of all kinds. Lesbian and trans protagonists are welcome. All stories must include a woman who identifies as a lesbian and who uses magic. The definition of magic is open to interpretation-surprise us, dazzle us, make us believe in all different kinds of magic all over again!
What we don’t want:
No erotica (we love erotica, just not for this anthology); no poetry (we love it too, just not for this anthology); no romance as the primary story plot arc (as in: this story only exists to bring these two characters together)-but romantic subplots are welcome; no fanfiction.
Please query with your story idea before you get started writing your story-we’d like to cut down on duplications as well as off-topic submissions (plus it wastes less of your time if you’re thinking of something we already know we don’t want).
Compensation is an equitable distribution of royalties based on word count.
Word count: 3-8K per story
Submission window: Feb. 15 – June 15, 2010. Deadline Extended!
