Third Flatiron Publishing is a specialist small press based in both Boulder, Colorado, and Ayr, Scotland, producing digital and print science fiction and fantasy anthologies. Each quarterly anthology is themed, but all require short stories, 1,500-3,000 words, of science fiction, fantasy or anthropological fiction. Their preference is for ‘tightly plotted tales in out-of-theordinary scenarios’. Some light horror is acceptable. Stories should ‘revolve around age-old questions and have something illuminating to tell us as human beings’ creatures, exciting dialog, irony, mild horror, and wry humour’ will go to the top of the list.
