Artemis Rising 4March 2018 will mark the fourth year of Artemis Rising, the annual showcase of women and non-binary authors across the Escape Artists’s podcasts. This year the month of stories will be edited by Dani Daly and Katherine Inskip, with assistant editor Alexis Goble.

Submittable portal. Anyone who identifies as a woman, to whatever degree they do, and non-binary authors are welcome and encouraged to submit a story. We strongly encourage submissions from people of historically under-represented backgrounds, including people of color, LGBTQ authors, people with disabilities, members of religious minorities, and authors from outside the United States.
Our fellow EA podcasts are taking part as well! Please visit
Escape Pod for science fiction,
Pseudopod for horror, and
PodCastle for fantasy.

And the answers to a few FAQ:If a story has been rejected by Cast of Wonders in the past, can I re-submit it for Artemis Rising?A: No.
Can I submit a rejected Artemis Rising story to the same podcast’s general submissions?A: No, because Artemis Rising editors may refer your story to the show’s regular editors at their discretion. If your story is declined, please take it as the story being declined for all purposes.
If a story has multiple authors, do they all have to meet the AR criteria?A: Yes.
If I’ve already submitted an Artemis Rising story, can I submit another I wrote with a co-author to the same podcast’s Artemis Rising?A: No.
If I have a story on submission to a podcast, can I submit a different story to that podcast’s Artemis Rising while the first one is still in the queue?Or vice versa?A: Yes, although we don’t anticipate being open to general submissions in September 2017.
Can I submit a different story to each of multiple EA podcasts for Artemis Rising?A: Yes! Publication on one show doesn’t preclude publication on another. We’ve had multiple authors accomplish this impressive feat in the past.
We look forward to reading your fiction!
Sincerely,
Dani Daly, Katherine Inskip, Alexis Goble,
and the entire Cast of Wonders editorial team
