Our international menagerie crafted stories which all took place in the same epic fantasy setting. We developed a unique method of storytelling that involves writing in the same shared fantasy universe, which we each populate with our characters, cultures and stories. Through hard work and heated debates, we developed a unified canon and history for our world, SORIA.Though they are designed as stand-alone works, our stories all influence the greater narrative of our shared world, even directly referencing or overlapping with each other. We refer to these Soria stories, relating to our original fantasy world, as Of Metal and Magic CORE stories.But we do much more than our CORE series. It is this innovative and unique format of shared worlds that Of Metal and Magic Publishing wishes to build on. In addition to seeking out new voices and the best talent in the traditional fantasy genre, we also seek to craft new worlds for our authors and contributors to relish and share. Every single story published by OMAM has the potential to grow into something greater, a new epic world of shared narratives.The OMAM team has been writing and publishing for years and felt that, with all of our combined experiences, we could create a publisher which could give opportunities to new and exciting voices in the world of fantasy, help and support writers with their careers, and above all, contribute to the world of writing in new and exciting ways. To that end, you can check out our sponsored podcast, The Fantasy Writers’ Toolshed—available on Spotify, Google Play, YouTube, and other major podcast hosts.As a publisher, we are always looking for submissions from new authors. In addition to publishing novels in our signature flavor, we also publish short fiction on our website and in occasional anthologies. We are also not averse to fantasy verse. If you’re a fantasy author, whatever your chosen format, send us your work.view less
