Call for Submissions: A Field Guide to Surreal Botany

A Field Guide to Surreal Botany

Two Cranes Press is looking for submissions on the weirdest, most bizarre, most surreal floral concoctions that y’all can come up with. This will be in the style of a field guide, so you’ll need to include Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, Appearance, Growth cycle, Ecology and geographic location, &c. Be as weird as you want to be.

Payment is one cent per word, with a maximum of $5.00. Yes, it sucks, but we expect a lot of contributors (since we’re recommending entries at 500 words, though we’ll look at longer if they’re exceptional). However, to offset the small monetary payment, you’ll also get one contributor copy of the printed field guide, a certificate conveying lifetime membership in the Surreal Botanists Association, and a few other unique one-of-a-kind items not available anywhere else. We’ll buy first worldwide print rights, and exclusivity for three months, after which, rights revert to the author.
