The Map of Lost Places Kickstarter is live!

The Kickstarter campaign for The Map of Lost Places, edited by Sheree Renée Thomas and Lesley Conner, is now live! Click here to join us in bringing this anthology to life. Check out the submission guidelines as well if you’re interested in sending a story to the open call in December!

Beyond the anthology itself, we’ve got all sorts of fantastic rewards, add-ons, and stretch goals included in this Kickstarter. Ai Jiang has contributed a beautiful handmade planner as an add-on, and there are five slots available for 15-minute Zoom calls with Brian Keene. A little ways down the line, we’ll have a few surprises from co-editor Lesley Conner, and maybe one or two other things up our sleeves….

Lesley and Apex Magazine managing editor Rebecca Treasure are also offering critiques on up to 7,500 words. Additionally, we have ten explorer care packages available, which will include items to keep you safe on your travels: a train ticket, holy water, a book of protective phrases…visit the Kickstarter page to find out more! Stretch goals include excitements like more open call slots, a new dark microfiction anthology from Marissa van Uden, art for the interior of the Map of Lost Places anthology, and an introduction written by Linda D. Addison.

Come help us plot routes through places with magic in the land, horrors in the skies, and dreams that slumber uneasy in the trees. Come follow the legends roaming the bleakest depths of the seas and the whispers that shake the earth’s bedrock. Come find us in the pages of The Map of Lost Places.
