Publishers and Editors! I'm taking subs for Vol. 3 of the award-nominated "Best Weird Fiction of the Year" til end of the year. Writers! You'll get a chance to submit your 2026 stories in January. bestspecfic(at)gmail.com


Esteemed Editors and Publishers,

I am now taking submissions of original 2026 short fiction projects — magazines, anthologies, single-author collections — for consideration in The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 3. (Publishing Sept. 2027). Vol. 1 is a World fantasy Award Finalist.

I am seeking material first published this year, in 2026. To be clear, only weird fiction FIRST published in 2026 is eligible for inclusion in this volume. I will accept translated work as long as the first English-language publication was 2026.

Stories should be between 500 and 17,499 words. Audio only stories are also ineligible, unless they also appeared as text.

Publishers and editors are encouraged to send electronic or digital copies, via the email address below. (I am not accepting hard copy submissions.) ePubs are preferred, but I will also accept text files (Word), Mobi, or PDF. Please do not cherry-pick selections. Send the entire book, journal, or magazine to:


bestspecfic@gmail.com


Thank you for your time and kind consideration.


Warm Wishes,

Michael

Here is the roughly-outlined vision. Any interest?
Horror Writing Bootcamp Curriculum Overview
Course Overview
This month-long horror-writing bootcamp is aimed at writers on a budget. The ideal student for this course is someone who has been writing for a bit but has only recently gotten interested in pursuing publication. On the scale of brand-new writer (1) to seasoned writer (10), this person is probably a 3 or 4.

Course Structure
This course will include four one-hour-long meetings spread out over a month. It would be open to ten students. Eight slots will be $100 each, and the other two will be free, reserved for writers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford the course. There will be minimal hoop-jumping involved in requesting a free spot.

Each course meeting will have a different theme:
Horror with a Fresh Face: Breathing New Life into Old Monsters
I’ve Got a Bad Feeling about This Place: Developing Atmosphere-Rich Settings
Stop Explaining So Much: Respecting the Strange … and Your Reader
It’s Showtime: Submitting to Short Story Markets

Students will have work to complete before each class—generally, one short story or article to read (freely accessible online) and one short writing assignment to complete. We will discuss the readings in relation to each week’s theme. I will also provide written feedback on the writing assignments. Periodically, we will do in-class writing exercises, followed by opportunities to share work and give peer/instructor feedback.

By the end of this course, students will have finished a 1,000- to 3,000-word story. I will provide one round of feedback on these stories, and students will find markets to submit them to after a round of revision.
