About

Fairy tales, folklore and fables are bound in magic and mischief, with entertainment and enlightenment, with savagery and anticipation, with romance and cruelty, with heroism and symbolism. We are seeking submissions for an anthology that captures modern, literary tales told through poetry, short fiction, short drama and illustrations. Two hundred years ago, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, better known as The Brothers Grimm, published a collection of tales to ensure that the various German fables, tales and folklore of their age and before would not die out. In 2013, two centuries later, we will publish our third book, Modern Grimmoire: Contemporary Fairy Tales, Fables & Folklore. The goal of the anthology is to offer emerging writers and artists the opportunity to showcase new literary tales, fables and folklore, weaving new threads into the literary fabric.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
