August calls for submissions and contests

As usual, Authors Publish kicked off the month with a round up of open calls and contests. Have a look at see if there's anything that suits your work. A lot of anthologies in this one, I note. Topics include a couple Romantasy anthologies from Flame Tree Press as well as mythology themed anthologies on The Valkyries and the Greek hero Odysseus (aka Ulysses); Poetry about the dead and related topics; aromantic relationship spec fic (friends, family, etc.); and an anthology on "hidden bargains, mysterious contracts, and eerie agreements". And much more, of course.
