What they accept
What Blooms in Darkness is a lunarpunk and climate-fiction anthology from Android Press, edited by Justine Norton-Kertson, treating darkness as refuge, ecology, and liberation rather than as a villain. It takes original English-language stories of 1,500 to 10,000 words from November 1 to December 31, 2026, and pays 8 cents per word plus a contributor's copy (the page does not name the currency). Simultaneous submissions are allowed; multiple submissions are not, and expected publication is autumn 2027.
