Dear fellow writer, Are you considering applying for something, but it seems like there's no way you'd be the one chosen? Maybe you want to ...

The Neurodiversiverse Anthology is still open to submissions, through Dec 31, 2023!

Please send us your short stories, flash fiction, poetry, or line art on the theme of neurodivergent people encountering aliens 👽.

The Neurodiversiverse Anthology 🛸⁠
Call for Submissions

The universe is filled with aliens—creatures with different histories, cultures, and even biologies—who may seem strange to us. But our world is filled with a diversity of people, many of whom find each other strange. One particular group finds the rest of humanity especially strange: neurodivergent people.⁠

Would neurodivergent folks find themselves at an advantage in dealing with aliens?⁠

Let’s find out.⁠


Thinking Ink Press wants to publish your short stories, flash fiction, poetry, and art exploring encounters between neurodivergent people and neurodivergent aliens. We are looking for:⁠
* Short stories up to 6k words⁠
* Flash fiction up to 1k words⁠
* Poetry up to 100 lines⁠
* Black-and-white line art illustrations⁠

We are paying $100 per short story, $50 for flash fiction, $50 for poems, and $50-100 for illustrations. Full guidelines can be found at www.neurodiversiverse.com or www.ThinkingInkPress.com/ndv.⁠

Submission Deadline: December 31st, 2023⁠
Edited by Anthony Francis and Liza Olmsted
