2026 Anthology
WE’RE MAKING A CHANGE!
Starting with the 2026 Creatures, Crimes & Creativity Anthology, the book will be published and commercially available. Authors included will be paid royalties and be able to purchase copies at a reduced price. Each C3 attendee will receive one copy of the anthology in their Swag Bag as always. The book will be available on Amazon and in bookstores soon AFTER the Con ends.
We will accept submissions only from past C3 attendees and those registered for this year’s Con. This volume will include the best stories submitted by July 10, 2026. In honor of this being the 13th Creatures, Crimes & Creativity Con, the theme of this anthology will be the impact of luck. Each story must include an element of good fortune, or misfortune, that moves the plot. Stories can be any genre and must be no more than 5,000 words long.
Do you feel lucky? If so, send us your best writing, and you could be included in the 2026 C3 Anthology!
Short stories accepted for the anthology must be previously edited, and will also be edited and proofed by the editor for format and consistency. Please email submissions to c3registrations@outlook.com. All of this is at no cost to the author, other than the cost of attending the Con.
