Update on Regeneration: NZ Speculative Fiction II submissions

Administrator — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 05:00:00 GMT

We know a number of stories have been hindered by the busy-season, so we're extending the deadline until January 31st. If you're part way through a story but haven't had chance to finish it off, or have an idea for a new one, here's your chance. If you've already submitted, remember we do accept multiple submissions - whilst we're very unlikely to select both, having two good stories in the mix does increase your chances. Full guidelines are at https://randomstatic.submittable.com/submit.
