Editor Douglas Cohen has news of Realms of Fantasy. Specifically, the magazine “is planning a special themed issue for August 2011, the theme being women in fantasy. This theme will be addressed in all three departments of the magazine: nonfiction, art, and fiction. So we’re putting out the official word that we’re looking for submissions from the fiction writers out there. The first thing interested writers should know is that for this issue the sign on the proverbial door says “girl writers only.” Sorry gents. Second, while being a woman submitting a fantasy piece to us is enough to get your manuscript considered for this issue, submissions dealing with gender, sexism, and other areas important to feminine speculative literature are particularly welcome. Third, if you’d like to have your story considered for this issue, stories should be postmarked no later than 15 November 2010. This will provide enough time to find the right artists (ladies, of course) for the stories.”
