Nat 1 Publishing — Gaslamp Pulp vol.7 FANTASY

Overview
Gaslamp Pulp is an ongoing anthology series from Nat 1 Publishing, now in its seventh volume, dedicated to speculative fiction with a particular affinity for the pulp tradition. This call is for the fantasy installment. The press invites work across three categories—short stories, poetry, and images—and permits multiple submissions within each: one to three stories, one to five poems, and one to five images. There is no word limit, though novels are explicitly out of scope. The reading period is January 2027, with a deadline of 31 December 2026. No submission fee is charged. The anthology's editorial posture is defined by a set of clear constraints. Work must be appropriate for readers of roughly high school level and above (16+), and must not glorify sexism, racism, ageism, ableism, or other forms of discrimination. Submissions must be original and entirely human-authored; AI-generated work is prohibited. Previously published work is accepted, provided the author discloses its prior appearance and it has not been previously accepted by Nat 1. Fan fiction and any material infringing on existing copyright are ineligible. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, with the expectation that authors notify the press if the work is accepted elsewhere so that first publication credit can be properly assigned. The reading process is blind: no identifying information should appear on the submission, including the file name. For visual contributors, a critical production constraint applies: images will be printed in grayscale. Work must therefore read clearly in black and white, without reliance on color for legibility or impact. The anthology's stated preference is for pulpy fantasy, though this is not a requirement. The press does not specify a prize or payment in the provided details, and no location is given. Contributors are directed to the publisher's guidelines for further information on rights and compensation.
