It doesn’t look like it’s going to be much fun this year, in the UK at least. There will however be an Underdog Anthology as usual.

Number 13 has a good crop of stories. Submission has now closed and editing is beginning. We hope to have this out in the first week of December since this year there is likely to be even harder pressure on deliveries than usual.

Quarterly author payments on novels and collections will go out on November 30th too.

There are more books to deal with, we have a backlog here, so Leg Iron Books will close to new submissions now until early January.

This was something we never expected to do, this started as almost a hobby press and we never expected it to reach a volume of work where we’d have to say ‘whoah’, but here we are.

If you have something ready to send, you have at least six weeks to double and triple check it before we’re ready to look at it in January.

Take a day off for Christmas though. You’ve earned it.
