UK publisher Hic Dragones is looking for stories about female werewolves for their upcoming anthology Wolf-Girls: Dark Tales of Teeth, Claws and Lycogyny

Here's an excerpt from the publisher's website detailing what they are looking for:

Submissions wanted for a new anthology of short stories of bad, bad female werewolves. Kicking, biting, clawing, fighting: the new lycogyny is far from pretty. We’re looking for new and established writers to contribute dark fiction tales for a new collection of stories filled with feral and feisty lupine femmes.

Editor: Hannah Kate

What we want: Edgy dark fiction short stories about female werewolves. Male characters are, of course, allowed, but the central character(s) should be female. We have no preconceptions about what ‘female’ or ‘werewolf’ might mean – so all interpretations are welcome. Any genre considered: dark fantasy, urban fantasy, horror, sci fi, steampunk, cyberpunk, biopunk, dystopian, crossover. Queer, trans, cis, straight are all welcome. High fantasy, revenge fantasy and anything about ‘lunar cycles’ or ‘Mother Nature’ will be considered, but are discouraged. Rather, we’re looking for new takes on an old legend, stories that challenge and unsettle. (And it should probably go without saying that we won’t be including any misogyny, misandry, homophobia, transphobia or racism!)


Word Count: 3000-5000

And, according to the editor's blog, the due date for submissions is Monday 4th April 2011

If you have any questions about the anthology, please direct them to Hic Dragones and not us. :)

I'm a young yet eager writer and would happily snap up a chalenge as tantalizing as this.

Tell me, is there an award for the winning submission?

Look into the story, Eena, by Manly Banister. Dark, edgy, and a pretty good message.

I'm sure I could whip something up. :) I have an old female character that is just begging for revival and revamping. <3

Nah I'm sick of seeing female OCs. I got an overload of them here from this site.
