Harrison Ford Wants You! to write fiction for Ideomancer.***

No, really.

I don't want to get into an argument about editorial bias and buying practices*, but we've noticed that in the year since we announced our new direction, the overwhelming majority of good stuff crossing our desk has been from women writers. We'd like to stretch our purview a little and include quality fiction that pushes the boundaries of narrative and genre from the boys too, but...it has to show up on our desks first. *g*

So...are you a boy? Do you know any who write good fiction like that which we publish**?

Send yourself to our slushpile, please.

This has been a public service announcement.

*Our buying practices are to find what makes us go "ooh!" and fight about it until msisolak gets it for us.

**This is key: the that which we publish. Just because we want to diversify doesn't mean we have become less discriminating. Always know the tastes of your markets.

***We like Harrison Ford better than Uncle Sam.
