Third Person Press began in 2007 as a discussion between Julie Serroul, Sherry Ramsey and myself. We were in the car on the way home from a writing workshop and Julie suggested that the three of us collaborate on an anthology. Evidently we all liked the idea because by that fall, we’d come up with our name — Third Person Press — (just beating out Three Quarks Press and Indelible Ink Press) and had sent out our first Call for Submissions for the anthology Undercurrents.
Now, a little over three years later, we’ve published Undercurrents to great success and have a second anthology, Airborne coming out in October. In addition, we’ve just announced a call for submissions for our third in what is now (obviously, if you’ve been paying attention) The Speculative Elements Series. The third one is Unearthed and submissions are open until December 31, 2010.
Third Person Press is interested in promoting speculative fiction by writers who are from Cape Breton or have a substantial connection to the island. We enjoy the challenges and rewards of working with both new and more established writers in bringing our readers one simple thing–great stories.
If you have some connection to our lovely Cape Breton Island and write speculative fiction (or have always wanted to), please read our submissions page AND our expanded guidelines page. Once you have a story or poem that fits what we’re looking for, we’d love to read it. Send it along to Third Person Press.
