Once upon a time, in a dungeon far, far away, you were summoned to join the quest for retellings of your favorite fairy tales. Editor, Sassafras Lowrey, is seeking well-written stories - think dragon fire-play, evil step mothers, and happy endings too good to be true. Create a fantasy, or show the magic all around us, when Prince Charming wins the leather contest with the help of his fairy drag-mother, Rapunzel is entangled in hair suspension and the little mermaid edgeplays with knives.
The editor is looking for a strong literary voice and characters with a a diversity of race, s3xual orientations and gender identities/expressions. All characters must be over 18. It’s time to write a new ending to your favorite bedtime story.
