Sapiens Plurum Short Fiction Contest: Inventing Beautiful Futures
Every year, Sapiens Plurum has a short fiction contest.
This year’s theme is Inventing Beautiful Futures.
The premise is even with harmful elements of nature and society. There is the innate potential to harness something beneficial or beautiful. Technology is a tool or catalyst for that transformation.
Tell the editors a tale of how you see this unfolding.
Your characters should develop and use technology to make the world better. Tell a good story with likable characters, setting, conflict, and resolution.
Your content should align with the mission of Sapiens Plurum. Their mission is to inspire us — the first species that can intentionally affect its evolution — to aspire beyond what was humanly possible.

PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grants
The PEN/Heim Translation Fund offers this grant to support book translations. The genres include fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and drama.
The work must not be in printed English or appear only in an outdated or flawed translation. Of preference are translations-in-progress because the grant aims to help completion.
