What do we mean by Whimsical? Where do we even begin to search for inspiration? What should we expect from the upcoming anthology?
What's Whimsical mean to the team?
For us, Whimsical is something mischievous, playful, quaint. It is taking your wildest thoughts, the simple fancies, the fantastical unknown, and letting those ideas take you on a journey. When we are children, our imaginations are potent. As we grow up, we begin to be trained into certain ways of thinking, ditching the creative in favour of the analytical. Here at Whimsical Press, we encourage the exact opposite. Let your imaginations run wild, catch them on a piece of paper and send what they leave behind to us!
Where do we find Whimsical inspiration?
Right here! We have compiled a few photos and website links to help you discover some whimsy for yourselves in the hope it will help kickstart your imaginations.
What's to be expected from the upcoming anthology?
Expect everything from witches to lemons, from myths to fables. We have stories and poetry that we couldn't have thought of all on our own, which is why we are so grateful for our amazing writers and everyone who submitted to our open call. We already can't wait for the next one!
