Unfortunately due to lower book sales, the coming uncertainty in the US and budget issues, I am reluctantly putting the "Mmeory" open call for spring of 2025 on hold for now. I'll update everyone in a few months with any news. Apologies for those working on submissions already.

So far, we’ve received a number of fantasy and horror pieces for Dark Hearts. We want science fiction, too! We love anything speculative, but right now sci-fi is a less competitive genre.
