We have adjusted our submissions schedule to help address the humbling number of stories we receive.
Here is our working schedule:
| From | To | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 March 2026 | 31 July 2026 | 2026 Anthologies and Collections – see note below |
| 24th March 2026 | 30 April 2026 | Writers from the Antarctic: special 20th anniversary call – see note below |
| 1 August 2026 | 11 August 2026 | General Submissions Open |
Dates in Moksha are set for the Eastern Time Zone in the United States (UTC -5 for EST (winter) and UTC -4 for EDT (summer)).
Please read our guidelines before submitting.
Looking at this schedule, we’re closed for general submissions until August 2026. However, from March 2026 we will be looking to purchase non-exclusive reprints from anthologies and collections released at any point in 2026. It does not have to be the final print version, ARCs are great. These stories will usually be scheduled to run in November and December of 2026 (please mention any rights constraints in your cover letter). If you have a story out or forthcoming in one of those, get your publisher in touch with us or send it in yourself. A portal has been set up in Moksha to accept these for consideration by our team.
We are also looking for horror stories of between 2,000 and 6,000 words from authors with current Antarctic connections. The story does not have to be wholly set in Antarctica, but should preferably contain elements inspired by that location. We are most interested in original pieces, but we will also consider reprints. PLEASE NOTE that for this call, you must include details of your link with Antarctica in your cover letter when you submit through our Moksha portal.
