What’s interesting here is the genres they’re looking for (italics mine).

“all the genres of imaginative literature, including but not limited to magic realism, science fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy, slipstream, supernatural horror, weird tales, alternate history, space opera, planetary adventure, surrealism, superheroes, mythic fantasy, etc.”

Highlights from the submission guidelines:

  • The anthology is open to Canadians, landed immigrants, long-time residents, and expatriates.
  • 10-20k words
  • Email submissions only
  • Deadline Feb 8, 2008 Feb 1, 2008 (they edited the page at some point after I reported this!)

Winners receive $200-300 (sliding scale) and publication in Tesseracts 12. Here’s a link to last year’s anthology, edited by one of my favorite sf authors and web celebrities, Cory Doctorow.
