Call for Submissions from Neurodivergent Writers to Anthology: Fat Coyote

Fat Coyote Anthology

Deadline: June 30, 2021

Second Submission Window: Aug. 1--Oct. 15

  1. *You must be neurodivergent.
  2. **The work must be your own.
  3. Your name should NOT appear on your manuscript. 
  4. Simultaneous submissions are okay, but please withdraw your submission if it is accepted elsewhere. 
  5. Previously published work will be considered. Please include a note with your submission stating the name of original publication in which it appeared. 
  6. Make no more than one submission per category per submission period. 

*Due to diagnostic and research bias regarding race and gender, poor healthcare access, and the fact that psychologists and researchers often focus on children only, self-diagnosis is VALID.
**In circumstances where a disability prevents an artist from making their own submission, please reach out to us.

Pay: $30 base + $2 per panel ($30 min – $120 max)

There are no submission fees. We also do not charge readers for online content. This means we are terrible capitalists, or maybe it highlights how capitalism is in direct conflict with amplifying ALL voices.

Submission decisions will be made within four months, but we expect to respond much earlier in most cases. If you haven’t heard from us within 120 days, feel free to send us a nudge.

Contributors will be published online and in the print anthology scheduled for publication in December 2021. Contributors will receive a free copy of the Fat Coyote anthology plus payment.

All publication rights revert back to the author/artist upon the print publication’s release.

Email submissions to:

fat_coyote@outlook.com

The subject line should include category of submission. Include your name, mailing address, phone number, the titles of all works included in your submission, and a brief author/artist bio in the email.
