If you have a short story or a stand-alone novel excerpt - they prefer 20-25 pp rather than shorter submissions (and Mark and Elizabeth are keen on thrillers as well as character-driven stories), you should send a story their way when they open for the 2026 anthology in April!
Another great post, Christine! Thanks for pointing out the "Coolest Stories" anthology. Gotta get it.

Thanks for the tip, Christine. I'm going to dive into Mark's "Necessary Deeds" too.
