Writers Unite Anthologies: Dimensions of Love

WRITERS UNITE! ANTHOLOGIES IS HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE NEWEST ANTHOLOGY IS OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!

Dimensions of Love

Now Open for Submissions — from February 15 through April 15, 2022!

This anthology is a republication of Realm of Romance. We have broadened the theme’s scope from romance to love and encourage members to write about love in all of its forms — romantic love, platonic love, familial love, love of a hobby, a location, a season, and more.

The Greeks have numerous names for the varying types of love, and we hope you will use those words as guides.

The Seven Greek words we offer as inspiration are as follows:

• Eros: romantic, passionate love.
• Philia: intimate, authentic friendship.
• Ludus: playful, flirtatious love.
• Storge: unconditional, familial love.
• Philautia: self-love.
• Pragma: committed, companionate love.
• Agápe: empathetic, universal love.

Here are the links for further details on how and where to submit your stories. Please read these files for further information — and we look forward to receiving outstanding stories from you! Start writing!

Writers Unite! Anthologies: Dimensions of the Wild West

Welcome to Writers Unite!’s sixth anthology volume.  We invite all writers of westerns or any writers interested in the western genre to submit a story to our Dimensions of The Wild West anthology.

Ah… the western… say the word and cowboys and horses and saloons are the images you recall. The traditional western contains several expected components and themes—good vs. evil, bad guy redeeming himself, sheriff fighting off the bad guys threatening his town are among them. The tropes abound. While traditionally, the period for westerns is between the late 1800s and early 1900s, a resurgence of the western has found its way into present day.

A new sub-genre, the neo-western, has gained popularity. We will post a workshop about the western genre this week, beginning today, and we will discuss the neo-western in more detail. This sub-genre takes the characteristics of a western, its themes, characters, and locations but placed in a modern-day setting. Also remember, the sub-genres are plentiful. You can write a romance (a lot of western romance novels happen in present-day), paranormal, thriller, science fiction, or a good old train robbery. You may set your story in the old west or the modern-day west. Your character can ride a horse and wear a Stetson or drive a Cadillac and wear a Stetson (or not) and take place in the western US or the western Australian Outback, but we will require these genre components.

• Western location
• Western theme
• Characters based on the standards in the genre

Writers Unite! Anthology: Realm of Romance

Romance. The word alone conjures up a myriad of emotions depending on the state of our relationships, but the fact is, romance creates intense reactions. Whether we are overjoyed because we are with the one we love or heartbroken over a loss, romance has fueled our imagination from the beginning of time.

Writers Unite! chose romance for our second Realm anthology because the genre is the world’s most popular. From innocent to the most intimate of stories, there is something to please everyone. With an international membership of 45,000 writers from all walks of life, the admins had no doubt the members would rise to the occasion and provide excellent stories about love gained and lost.

We were not disappointed.

As you read the wonderful stories included, remember that these excellent writers had restrictions. The stories are limited to 5000 words or less. Writing a complete story in so few words is an art, and there are artists among us. As we read through the entries, we laughed and cried, and you will too. Keep the tissues handy!
