Austin Gray
Layout Editor
Austin is a writer with a focus on the fantastical. He finds joy in the new and the now, and seeing a fresh idea come to life. When he isn’t chugging coffee and writing in a dark corner, he can be found hiking or making music. His works can be found in Every Day Ficition and RockScissorsPaper. Some of his favorite authors are Stephen King, Guy Gavrial Kay, and Terry Pratchett.
Scott Richards
Contributing Editor
Scott is the author of The Legend of Paper Monkey and Gwain: Reluctant Elf Warrior. When he’s not immersed in his favorite role of being a dad, you can find him starting another side project. Scott is dedicated to making people laugh, and to helping others feel a little bit of sunshine in a bleak world.
Jessica Ritchey
Associate Editor
Jessica is an avid reader and part-time writer with an eclectic artist repertoire. A child of a small town steeped in history and ghost stories, she appreciates the strange and unexplainable. She loves nature, including hiking and biking, and meandering to photograph shiny objects that catch her crow-like attention. She likes to load up on caffeine and explore cemeteries in her free time. Jessica resides in northwestern Pennsylvania with her partner in their house full of crazy animals and crazier children.

I write speculative Christian fiction. I just found your website and got a bit excited, but not everyone knows what to do with Christian fiction (especially speculative). Is it a genre you you work with?
Hello Julia! Thank you for your question. We only publish fiction specific to our open anthology calls right now, but we do consider all subgenres of speculative fiction, as long as the story otherwise fits our currently open call. If you have a story that fits our current call (see our submission guidelines for more details), we’d like to read it!
