The Black Beacon Book of Pirate Tales

Black Beacon Books is now open to submissions for a pirate anthology! Our Patreon patrons voted for this theme during a recent poll. The usual submissions guidelines apply to this anthology, but read on for the specific details.

The Black Beacon Book of Pirate Tales

What are we looking for?

For this anthology, we're looking for pirate tales, preferably about pirates and buccaneers from the 16th to 18th centuries. Stories set in completely fictional/fantasy worlds will be considered but are likely to be a hard sell. That said, we're interested in stories belonging to various genres just so long as the central characters and setting are pirates or centred on the theme of piracy, even if the story is set in the present. For example, a ghost story featuring a legendary pirate or a mystery about a lost treasure. We're not looking for sci-fi or futuristic stories. As usual, if you have any questions, just get in touch.

The submissions window will remain open until December the 31st. Now, raise that black flag and get back to your writing desk!

  1. Do the stories require a fantasy element? Or would non-fantasy fiction about searching for a pirate's treasure be considered just as much as ghosts and magic?
