Tesseracts Fourteen Open For Submissions (Sept. 1, 2009 – Nov. 30, 2009)

Submissions are now open (from September 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009) for volume 14 of the Tesseracts anthology. Tesseracts is the premiere anthology for Canadian short fiction published annually by Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy, so if you are a Canadian author, feel free to submit your stories, poetry, radio plays, and flash fiction to them.

As each volume rotates their editors for the anthology, this year’s editors are John Robert Colombo and Brett Alexander Savory.

John Robert Colombo is the Toronto-based author and anthologist whose byline has appeared on over 200 books of quality. These range from volumes of poetry to compilations of quotations. Colombo has been variously dubbed:

• “The Master Gatherer” for his compilations of Canadiana.
• “John ‘Bartlett’ Colombo” for his ‘quote books.
• “Canada’s Mr. Mystery” for his collections of told-as-true ghost stories.
• “Superfan” for his pioneering interest in Canadian fantastic literature.

Recently Mr. Colombo was the keynote speaker for the Montreal World Science Fiction Convention’s academic track. Although he has 200 books to his credit, it is his six pioneering works in the field of Canadian speculative fiction that is celebrated, his most significant work is his massive historical retrospective Other Canadas, published in 1979, the first-ever anthology of Canadian science fiction and fantasy, which gathered 21 fiction pieces and 28 poems drawn from 400 years of Canadian history. Prior to that book, no one had made the case that there was such a thing as Canadian science fiction and fantasy.

Brett Alexander Savory is the Bram Stoker Award-winning Editor-in-Chief of ChiZine: Treatments of Light and Shade in Words, Publisher of ChiZine Publications, has had nearly 50 short stories published, has written two novels and penned the foreword to Tesseracts Twelve.

In 2006, Necro Publications released his horror-comedy novel The Distance Travelled. September 2007 saw the release of his dark literary novel In and Down through Brindle & Glass, and November brought his first short story collection, No Further Messages, released through Delirium Books. In the works are three more novels. When he’s not writing, reading, or editing, he plays editor drums for the hard rock band Diablo Red.
