ODYSSEY

The 2025 Short Story Anthology is now open for submissions.

An Odyssey is more than a simple journey—it’s a sweeping experience, often marked by trials, discoveries, and the enduring search for meaning. Drawing inspiration from myth and modernity alike, this theme invites writers to explore both the vast outer world and intimate inner landscapes, whether literal, emotional, or symbolic.

An Odyssey is about more than reaching a destination—it’s about the evolution of self, the lessons learned, the scars earned, and the wisdom gained. Whether your tale is rooted in myth or grounded in realism, let the odyssey unfold with courage, curiosity, and a dash of wonder.

Quick Details:

• Open: June 15th – August 15th
• Eligibility: The Short Story Anthology is open to all SCWG members in good standing.
• Entry Fee: The submission fee is $10.00.
