Oddity Prodigy Productions is thrilled to announce that we are open for submissions for our next anthology: Tales of Steel and Sorcery!

This anthology will be a love letter to the sword and sorcery genre. There is a planned Kickstarter to cover publishing costs. The publishing date will be announced sometime after submissions have closed. 

The Deadline for submissions is: December 31st, 2025.

 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Huzzah, and well met, adventurer! Please come in from the cold and warm yourself by the fire.  We at Oddity Prodigy Productions are in need of aid from storytellers.  This tavern we have found ourselves running is in need of entertainment.  Do you have a story of epic adventure that you wish to share?  Are there tales of knights, dragons, villains, and magics you can bring to bear?  If so, you may be just the bard we are looking for!

Hot on the heels of our massive tome of superheroes, Where Legends Walk, we are proud to announce our newest anthology: Tales of Steel and Sorcery.  We are looking for stories from across the vast genre, from the classic myth creation stories of J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula L. Le Guin, or Terry Brooks, to the pulp majesty of Robert E. Howard’s Conan. The vast worldbuilding of Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman’s Dragonlance, Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, or N.K. Jemisin’s Inheritance books, all the way to the grim visions of George R.R. Martin and Joe Abercrombie. If your muse is more like the swashbuckling stories of Scott Lynch, or Brandon Sanderson’s detailed magic systems, or the thoughtful characters of K.S. Villoso, then we’re definitely interested. Fantasy is a deep and expansive genre, and we’d like to read what your imagination conjures!

 WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR

We are not looking for stories using existing properties. We will not accept stories with extreme violence or any form of sexual abuse or assault. 

We are not looking for fantasy in a modern setting or urban fantasy. Some science fiction elements may be considered, but generally, we are looking for stories that are low technology.
