Theme Magical Summer
For the month of July, cast fun spells on future readers in this upcoming anthology filled with summer vibes. Spells of the Summer is a collection of stories centering on the ordinary and the magical, the season of summer, and the way they intertwine for a fun-filled path.
Within this anthology, we want stories that encourage exploration, curiosity, and magical shenanigans that hook, hold, and remain. Engaging tales of young witches, summer flings and breaks, and growing up are our focus. Coming-of-age, magic powers, and an unforgettable summer—fuse these ideas into a fantastical and magical memory of a lifetime.
Recite the spell from the nearest book, study hard from wizened witches, and play hard for the upcoming vacation. Let's have one summer to never forget!
Suggested Subgenres
