Wizards of the Coast Open Call

Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] slwhitman:

Wizards of the Coast Discoveries, a brand new imprint debuting in January 2008, is looking for well-written speculative fiction. We will open for submissions September 1 and close for submissions January 15. Further guidelines can be found at http://www.wotcdiscoveries.com.

Agented submissions are welcome year round.

In January 2008, Discoveries will launch this exciting new imprint with Firefly Rain, a southern gothic ghost story by Richard Dansky. Further launch titles include Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott and Devil’s Cape by Rob Rogers, both first-time novelists who were selected from previous open calls.

Good Luck!

As it's adult fiction, I'm definitely not going to make this year's call. This is the third year they've done it, and it's probable they'll continue to do it in the future, though, so one of these years...

Mine is the 2nd book released, and the first trade paperback.

She's up for pre-order already at all the finest bookstores in the world, and quite a few shady ones to boot.
