This anthology is designed to collect the best fiction on war. We don’t want war as a backdrop to another story, but the war or conflict must be the major part of the story. Using historical fiction or other fiction is fine, but we don’t want real-life battle stories. Each story must also include as a quote or somewhere else in the text the phrase “War is all we know.”

Page length: Between 20-40 pages, but we would consider longer or slightly shorter pieces.

Due Date: December 1 (tentative-we reserve the right to extend this if we have not yet accepted enough stories to complete the Anthology).

Contest End Date: December 1 (to ensure full consideration of your story make sure that your entry is received by this date. The contest deadline may be extended, as noted above, but is unlikely).
