About Harvey Duckman

“Probably the best collection I have ever been part of…”

Our aim is to bring fanastic original new fiction to readers, and to give writers a supportive and genuine community in which to thrive.

Open for submissions

WE ARE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS

SCIENCE FICTION

3k wobbly word limit (minimum 2k, max 6k)

Robot overlords, AI becoming sentient, automatons rebelling, drone warfare and beyond… Look past the possible and almost here and see where the future might take us…

DEADLINE: 27th February 2026

UPCOMING BASKETS

We have four main baskets into which we allocate stories as they are accepted. These baskets lead to themed editions of Harvey that are published quarterly. Any stories that we love, that don’t fit into one of our existing baskets, may find a home in a catch-all variety collection. And every now and then we might throw out a call for a specific bonkers theme we like the sound of.

Subscribe to keep up to date with basket deadlines.
