Subject: Buck Rogers Anthology
Details: The anthology will be based on the Buck Rogers franchise up until 1931.
Stories, character names, and artwork published before January 1, 1931 are all allowed and welcomed in your work.
This means neither of the major television incarnations are allowed. If your work contains names, locations or elements from the TV serials, movies or 1979 Buck Rogers in the 25th Century television series, it will be immediately rejected as they are separately copyrighted.
If you have questions – ask before writing.
We are currently accepting original stories set in this universe based on characters and settings from the comic strips and books prior to 1931.
While we hope to keep with the characters, settings and scenarios of the old 1920s classics, we hope for stories centered on today’s understanding of the universe with plausible physics (in other words, swimming through space without gear or walking on the surface of the sun isn’t going to fly today like it may have in 1929).
We’re looking for the sense of adventure of yesteryear mated to the plausibility and logic of today.
224-Verse (standalone entries and series in our interconnected universe): OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS
Please read the 224-Verse page carefully before writing your stories! Each entry must be specifically crafted to fit our interconnected series set in the Andromeda galaxy.
Theme: Space Opera.
Submission Period: Ongoing.
Word Count: Anything from 2,000 words to novel length. Submission should be written in third person point of perspective, past tense.
Author Eligibility: Open to all.

Simultaneous Submissions: Not allowed.
Multiple Submissions: Allowed but please wait for a response on your previous submission before sending the next.
Publication: Each story will be a standalone publication, published in digital format, unless otherwise indicated. Sequels are always a possibility, as are print editions, especially for authors with multiple pieces accepted into the universe.
Author Compensation: Royalty split.
Please make sure to read our Submission Guidelines before submitting. Thanks!
Tom Corbett, Space Cadet: Ongoing open call – OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS
Starry Eyed Press is publishing official entries in the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet universe and is accepting pitches from our contributors interested in getting on board.
Who
Who is Tom Corbett? Like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Captain Video, Tom Corbett is a 1950s era pulp space opera depicted in television, radio, books, comic books, comic strips and even action figures.
He originated in a novel from Robert A. Heinlein called The Space Cadet (1948).
What
There is A LOT of Tom Corbett material out there if you want to dig around. Eight novels, four dozen comic books, toys etc. but what we’re most concerned with is the continuity and characterizations of the television series that ran from 1950-1955. You can access many episodes on Youtube.
What We Want
We’re open to pitches in two areas: standalone novels (print and digital), or short stories (digital and possibly collected in a print anthology).
The subject and length are left to the author’s discretion.
Tone and Style
While we hope to keep with the characters, settings and scenarios of the old 1950s classics, we also market our pieces to science fiction aficionados looking for material centered on today’s understanding of the universe with plausible physics (in other words, swimming through space without gear or walking on the surface of the sun isn’t going to fly today like it may have in 1950).
So we’re hoping for the sense of adventure of yesteryear mated to the plausibility and logic of today.
Previously published authors, especially those we have worked with in the past, will get preference, but anyone interested can pass along a pitch and we’ll get back to you.
