Running Wild, LLC — Annual Novella Anthologies
Overview
Running Wild, LLC is currently accepting submissions for its Annual Novella Anthologies, an open call for fiction writers working in the novella form. The press seeks complete novellas to be featured in a yearly anthology, providing a platform for sustained narrative exploration beyond the short story and shorter than the novel. This opportunity is open to all writers, with no submission fee, reflecting the press's commitment to accessibility and literary merit. The novella has long been a vital form for writers to delve into character and plot with a depth that short fiction cannot accommodate, yet without the expansive scope of a novel. Running Wild, LLC's anthology series aims to showcase the diversity and vitality of contemporary novella writing, bringing together a collection of voices that might otherwise be overlooked by commercial publishers. By publishing an annual anthology, the press creates a recurring venue for this unique literary form. While specific details regarding compensation, rights, and distribution are not provided in the available information, the absence of a submission fee underscores the press's focus on literary quality rather than financial barriers. Writers are encouraged to review the full guidelines on the press's website to ensure their manuscript aligns with the anthology's curatorial vision. This call represents a serious invitation to practitioners of the novella to contribute to a growing tradition of independent literary publishing.
