Book Smugglers Publishing is a small press offshoot of the very popular Book Smugglers blog written and edited by Ana Grilo and Thea James. In June the imprint launched the Book Smugglers Quarterly Almanac dedicated to original short speculative fiction, essays, reviews, and reprints. The debut issue featured Tansy Rayner Roberts, John Chu and others. The Almanac is published in paperback and digitally.
In addition to the Almanac, Book Smugglers has an open call for short stories for its fourth season of short stories. This will be published digitally in the summer of 2017 and follows volumes devoted to fairytale retellings, first contact, and superheroes. The theme is gods & monsters.
