Author's rights
We’re looking for non-exclusive digital and physical print as well as online rights. Distribution will be through this website and potentially a print or digital book format.
Additional info
We publish speculative fiction: horror, dark scifi and fantasy, and more. If it’s dark and speculative, we’d love to read it. Make sure your story – even your drabbles – have a coherent and strong beginning, middle and end, and a narrative that is well-paced.
