And now, this month's show.

9
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:35,610
Hello, I'm Kit Kaelstow, publisher of Epona Muse

10
00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:39,110
Publishing, and this is Epona Muse Publishing News

11
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:41,310
for August 2026.

12
00:00:41,930 --> 00:00:44,970
We are still reading for three anthologies.

13
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:49,230
The first is Gouda and Cozy, which it

14
00:00:49,230 --> 00:00:53,710
consists of cozy fantasy short stories that feature

15
00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:54,210
cheese.

16
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:58,110
The deadline for this anthology is August 30th,

17
00:00:58,110 --> 00:01:00,290
but after hearing from some authors who'd like

18
00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:03,830
to submit, I am seriously thinking about extending

19
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:06,070
the deadline out another 30 days.

20
00:01:06,490 --> 00:01:09,050
So, if this is an anthology you're interested

21
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:12,450
in, I encourage you to please reach out.

22
00:01:12,970 --> 00:01:13,870
Let me know.

23
00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:16,530
Let me know if you need the deadline

24
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:17,730
extended to November.

25
00:01:18,110 --> 00:01:20,630
I would love to read your stories for

26
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:21,770
this anthology.

27
00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:28,670
The next anthology is our anthology about the

28
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:30,470
autistic relationship with animals.

29
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:33,630
This is an own voices anthology.

30
00:01:34,490 --> 00:01:36,570
I do not ask for proof of diagnosis,

31
00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:41,230
and self-realization is okay because there are

32
00:01:41,230 --> 00:01:44,790
issues getting an autism diagnosis, not just in

33
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:46,570
the U.S., but in many other countries.

34
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:50,310
If you have a story you want to

35
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:54,050
write about your relationship with animals, whether that's

36
00:01:54,050 --> 00:01:56,850
a beloved pet, whether that's a connection with

37
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:00,350
a special interest, whether that's like a connection

38
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:02,930
with nature, I would love to read your

39
00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:06,430
non-fiction essay for that anthology, and that

40
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:08,490
deadline is September 30th.

41
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:13,150
The last anthology that we're reading for is

42
00:02:13,150 --> 00:02:15,950
Magic is Plum Wild.

43
00:02:16,650 --> 00:02:21,150
This is an anthology of magical weather, and

44
00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:23,550
this anthology will be a charity anthology.

45
00:02:23,650 --> 00:02:26,110
So, the other two are royalty-paying anthologies,

46
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:30,530
and this anthology is a charity anthology where

47
00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:33,630
the money raised will go towards a non

48
00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:37,090
-profit that's focused on storm relief, and once

49
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:39,630
I get the stories together, I'll talk a

50
00:02:39,630 --> 00:02:41,750
little bit more about that non-profit, about

51
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:43,650
what they do, and why I prefer to

52
00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:44,350
support them.

53
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:47,530
If you have any questions at all, please
