Our Mandate
Third Person Press is interested in promoting speculative fiction by writers from Cape Breton, or having a substantial connection to the island. We enjoy the challenges and rewards of working with both new and more established writers in bringing our readers one simple thing--great stories.At this time, we are not open to general submissions outside our stated submission calls and projects. However, if you would like more information about planned and upcoming projects, please email us!
Meet the Editors
Sherry D. Ramsey is a speculative fiction writer, editor, publisher,
creativity addict and self-confessed internet geek. When she's not
writing, she makes jewelry, gardens, hones her creative procrastination
skills on social media, and consumes far more coffee and chocolate than
is likely good for her.
Her debut novel, One's Aspect to the Sun, was published by Tyche Books
in late 2013 and was awarded the Book Publishers of Alberta "Book of the
Year" Award for Speculative Fiction. The sequel, Dark Beneath the Moon,
is due out from Tyche in 2015. Her other books include To Unimagined Shores—Collected Stories, and an urban fantasy/mystery novel, The Murder Prophet. With her partners at Third Person Press she has co-edited five anthologies of
regional short fiction to date. Her short fiction and poetry have
appeared in numerous publications and anthologies in North America and
beyond. Every November she disappears into the strange realm of National
Novel Writing Month and emerges gasping at the end, clutching something
resembling a novel.
A member of the Writer’s Federation of Nova Scotia Writer’s Council,
Sherry is also a past Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer of SF
Canada, Canada's national association for Speculative Fiction
Professionals.

Nancy's a 2013 graduate (aka survivor) of the Viable Paradise SF&F Writing Workshop, which affords her a life-time membership in the awesome VPXVII writing tribe. She's a member of SF Canada and of the Codex forum for neo-pro speculative fiction writers.

Julie’s writing floats around a couple of subgenres in the realm of
speculative fiction, hovering often in the supernatural or paranormal.
Her short stories have appeared online at The Writer’s Head E-zine and The Practically Creative Quarter, and her non-fiction articles, including a series of workshop articles for young writers, have appeared in The Scriptorium Webzine. Her short story “Sanctuary” won second place in the annual Conestoga Short Fiction Competition, and “Emoters” appeared in Undercurrents.
