***SUBMISSIONS RE-OPENED - SECOND CALLOUT***

-

An update from us – while we received several submissions to SHADOWTOUCHED, the number of accepted submissions is too low to complete the project at this time.

Therefore, we are re-opening submissions until MARCH 1ST, 2024.

-

Some guidelines:

● These submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

● If we reach enough acceptances to complete the project, we will close submissions early.

● We have tentatively accepted a few submissions. All authors have been notified.

● If we do not reach enough acceptances by the due date, we will most likely shelve the project.

Thank you for your patience. We greatly appreciate your understanding.

**SUBMISSIONS OPENING SOON**
On April 3rd 2023, we will open our submissions for SHADOWTOUCHED!
SHADOWTOUCHED is an anthology for characters that are more than they seem...

We are looking for stories that feature some sort of agent of subterfuge that fall into the SFF umbrella. Characters that cheat, bend the rules, or "borrow" goods, as well as poisonings, hoaxes, and elaborate schemes are welcome!
Some notes:
♧ We will be closing submissions August 4th, 2023. If you require an extension, email us as soon as you can.

◇ We will not be closing submissions until the deadline. This means we will not be making decisions until all stories are recieved to be fair to all submissions.

Though this project is more than halfway done, this journey is just beginning.
Are you ready for the journey Trials By Tides will take you on?
To be completely honest, we ran into many roadblocks while compiling and working on this anthology. Just as the ocean is tumultuous and unpredictable, so is life. One thing we stand by is that our authors and editors come first, and our deadlines come second.
We hope to bring you this anthology within the next couple months! Follow us here and at for more updates on TBT and the upcoming anthologies we have planned. If you're an author, make sure to check out our website for submission dates, exception policies, and more.
