Other Worlds Ink Anthology/ How To Submit (Award: $300)
For their 2020 Anthology, Other Worlds Ink is themed: Fix the World and they are looking for stories that depict a near future world (Earth) that is better than the world we are in today.
A more improved world in all aspects. Show a world post-climate change, where peace has been made with the planet. Or a world where past racism are moved into a broader understanding of the connectedness of all the races of humanity. How about one where gender no longer matters? Or where borders are no more.
World ink is not looking for preachy. All they want is realistic depictions of the Earth that could be, even it it’s not perfect.
Whatever fix you choose does not have to be the main plot – in fact, it’s probably better if it isn’t. But it should be very clear in the story – how we got from here to there.
The world is broken. Fires, hurricanes, famine and disease haunt the land. We all need a little hope.
