It’s our 15th birthday this summer, and to help us celebrate it we’re opening the stage doors to birthday-themed stories!
We’ll be open from the 15-21st March.

What we’re looking for:

• Someone’s birthday is a central feature of the story.  This doesn’t necessarily have to be the protagonist’s birthday, nor does it need to be a 15th birthday.
• A clear element of fantasy, science fiction, or speculative horror associated with birthdays.  Yes to age- or gift-linked magic/science/horror, no to weird stuff that could just as easily occur on any other day of the year.
• 1.5-4k in length
• All other Cast of Wonders submission guidelines apply

We have a number of submission calls this spring – authors are welcome to submit to all of them!
