Submissions will be open to writers in any genre. The only proviso here is that your work must exist within the context and reality of the world. We are equally happy to see swords at sunset, romance, space opera, humour, social comedy, horror …there are as many variants as there are writers. Submissions will be open to writers in any genre.

-You can pick up characters already within or create new ones. You can have entire storylines within a corner of this world that is your own. You can write in any genre (almost - we do not pay for anything that cannot be viewed by a general audience) and use any word length to a maximum payment of Aus$300. +You can pick up characters already within or create new ones. You can have entire storylines within a corner of this world that is your own. You can write in any genre (almost - we do not pay for anything that cannot be viewed by a general audience).
-Anything. Well, almost anything. No erotica or excessive violence. You can use themes that have already partly been explored, just as long as your story is well told and does not copy what is already there.  Just make your story your own - we do not want stories that simply copy the life histories of characters already in our world. Given the recent history of New Ceres, there is a high likelihood that lots of people from Earth would end up there, out of necessity. And not only from Earth. New Ceres has *so* many possibilities. Explore them. +No erotica or excessive violence.

If you are submitting an unsolicited work, please take the time to read //Issue 1// of //New Ceres// in great detail. Also explore the worldbuilding details available from the //New Ceres// website. Substantial aspects of New Ceres will be left unfixed to allow our writers to add their own original touches, but it’s important that your story not contradict anything that has already been set in stone.
