Submissions
We will be open for submissions
July 15-August 15, 2026.
What we're looking for...
Are you a wordsmith with a passion for crafting immersive worlds, epic adventures, and mind-bending concepts? Look no further! We're seeking submissions for our upcoming seasons of science fiction and fantasy novels, and we want to dive into your captivating tales.
​
What are we looking for? The possibilities are as vast as the cosmos itself. Whether you're spinning tales of futuristic civilizations, weaving spells in fantastical realms, or exploring the depths of magical realism, we want to hear from you. From space operas to romantasy, from cyberpunk dystopias to high fantasy epics, your imagination is the only limit.
​
However, there's one thing we're not interested in: horror. Whether it's the chill of the supernatural or the darkness of the human psyche, horror just doesn't fit our current vibe. So leave the things that go bump in the night at home, and let's focus on the wonders of the universe instead.
​​​
Please note: We only accept submissions from women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other minorities. Your unique voices and perspectives are invaluable to us, and we're committed to amplifying underrepresented voices in the science fiction & fantasy worlds.
​
So, dust off your keyboards, fire up your imagination engines, and send us the first three chapters of your most spellbinding creations. We can't wait to journey with you to worlds unknown!
​
We do offer a modest advance on royalties.
