Call for Submissions: Elements of Fantasy: Magic (Final Call)

"Elements of Fantasy: Magic" is the first of a series of titles on writing fantasy and an author's guide to the various aspects of writing magic to be published by Dragon Moon Press Fall 2008, (in time for the World Fantasy Con in Calgary, Canada).

While the title is almost completely filled up we are still looking for chapters about magic based upon legends and traditions of specific cultures, such as Asian. We already have a chapter on East Indian magic, but any other culture would be considered. We would also consider chapters on more unusual topics of magic that we might not already been addressed within the title.

If you are interested in contributing please send us a short query about the topic you would like to write about, as well a bio of your writing credits and why you would be suitable to write such a chapter. The deadline for such queries by Aug. 15^th and any of those we are interested in will be requested to send a formal proposal thereafter.

Feel free to forward this call out to anyone who may be interested.
