We are proud to announce that Weird Tales fiction editor Ann VanderMeer will be a guest of honor at this year’s World Fantasy Convention in San Jose, honoring the 200th birthday of WT inspiration Edgar Allan Poe! Fellow guests of honor include author Garth Nix, artist Lisa Snellings, and Ann’s partner in crime Jeff VanderMeer — plus WT contributor Jay Lake as toastmaster.

Weird Tales’s traditional story submissions are going to remain closed until Memorial Day — but we ARE now publicly opening submissions for our new flash-narrative format: One-Minute Weird Tales! Take a look at this video clip, which has been on our home page for a while, and you’ll get the idea:

These are sharp little micro-stories of 20 to 150 words, presented in a quick sequence of brief one-screen chunks — sort of a funky hybrid of a movie trailer, a Zen koan, and an Adult Swim between-show bumper. They don’t necessarily have to be funny — but they DO have to be immediately grabbing and viciously memorable. And, of course, weird.

Flat payment of $25 for video/online publishing rights. Send your scripts — that is, your stories demarcated with individual screen breaks — within the body of email to weirdtales@gmail.com.
