This show is released monthly with updates on

more.
Stay tuned and visit our website at publishing

about our open submission calls and our books.
And now, this month's show.
Hello, I'm Kit Kaelstow, owner and publisher of
Epona Muse Publishing, and this is the Epona
Muse Publishing News for July 2026.
We are still reading for our three anthologies,
which will close later this year.
There's about six weeks or so left to
contribute to Gouda and Cozy, which is a
cozy fantasy anthology where cheese has to play
an important role.
And this could be a cheese that you
might experience in our world, this might be
a cheese that is unique to your fantasy
world, but the story must be cozy fantasy
and cheese must play an important role.
And this is kind of based on the
thought of what's cozier than like a grilled
cheese on a cold winter's day.
So, you know, run with that, write what
you will.
We are also reading non-fiction anthologies for
our story, which one of the office cats
has graciously come to model for us.
You might see him on the camera here
a little bit, but this is the autistic
relationship with animals.
These are essays, non-fiction, lived, experienced essays.
And most people that I know who also
identify as neurodivergent, we have some pretty special
relationships with animals.
I've heard it said that that's because our
animal companions love us unconditionally.
We find that we can relate better to
animals and animals play a very important role
in our life.
And so I'd love to hear your stories.
Send me your animal stories or goes another
cat.
So see their cats are very important here
at the Epona Muse publishing headquarters.
I sincerely hope we get some essays about
cats as well for the anthology, but other
animals are welcome as well.
Finally, we're reading for a charity anthology, which
is called Magic is Plum Wild.
And the proceeds for this anthology is going
to go to a nonprofit that actually helps
people with storm recovery.
And they kind of help people who fall
through the cracks of FEMA and traditional insurance
places that get that have gotten hard recently.
They've usually been on the ground within like
the first 24 hours with supplies.
And so this again would be, you know,
ideally fantasy, but I'll take your science fiction
as well.
Space weather is weather too.
And this is just weather that is plum
wild.
So however you interpret that, this is, I
expect a lot of storms, maybe a few
tornadoes, all fictional, of course, but I would
just love to hear your interpretation of that
theme.
And those submissions close in October, if I
remember correctly, but you've got a couple of
months.
So I encourage you to submit to our
open submission calls.
If you have any questions, if you'd like
to learn more about Epona Muse publishing, I
also encourage you to visit our website at
publishing.eponaauthorsolutions.com.
And you can see those links in our
show notes.
And as always, one of the best ways
to support the press is to buy our
books, leave reviews, but also if you're hearing
this new show, if you're getting this new
show on your social media feeds, go ahead
and share it, hit that like and subscribe
if you can.
Little actions like that may seem very little,
but they do add up and they help
out small presses and small independent creators quite
a bit.
Thank you so much.
I hope you have a safe and happy
month of July.
And that'll be it until next month.
