Enchanted Conversations: Animal Tales
Deadline: March 20, 2018
For: April 2018 Issue
Theme: Animal Tales
Enchanted Conversation is looking for stories, poems, and sequential art (aka comics) that use animals as main characters or that operate as a catalyst to the story in a fairy tale, folklore, or mythic setting. Work can either be re-tellings of established stories or use original characters set within the fairy tale, folklore, and mythic templates.
Animals in folklore, fairy tales, and myths have helped humans, tricked them for their own purposes or provided inspiration for a hero/heroine to achieve their goals. Think of Puss in Boots, The Nightingale, The Bremen Town Musicians, The Firebird, and beyond. Be bold, traditional, lyrical, or experimental in your storytelling and enchant us with your original stories set in a variety of locations around the world and time periods from ancient to modern.
Stories between 700-2,000 words. Payment $20.00 US dollars only
Poems any length. Payment $10.00 US dollars only
