Eerie River is open to Novels and Novellas from Canadian Authors

Submission Window: April 15th – June 1st, 2025
Payment: 40% royalties for net eBook sales with a chance to increase to 50% should a specific threshold of sales be met.
Theme: Novels and novellas in dark fiction, horror, dark romance, and horror romance.

Publishing Opportunities for 2026

We are happy to announce that our focus for 2026 is to highlight the voices of underrepresented Canadian authors.

We are seeking submissions from Canadian authors who identify as BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, or are from marginalized communities.

We are seeking two novels or novellas in the genres of dark fiction, dark romance, horror romance, or horror, to be published in the latter half of 2026.

If you are a Canadian author with a unique story to tell, we encourage you to submit your work for consideration. Let’s bring your voices to the forefront of the literary world.

Our submission window will be from April 15 – June 1.

We are seeking completed manuscripts.

Eerie River Publishing only publishes a handful of novels a year. Regrettably, this means we will have to pass on some fantastic writing. We wish we could publish them all but the truth is we wouldn’t be able to put the resources needed behind each project to make them a success. And that is what we are here to do.

We are an inclusive company that accepts submission from anyone regardless of race, gender or sexuality. We accept agented and non-agented submissions during our submission window.

Aethon Is Open To Novels

Payment: Royalties
Theme: Science Fiction and Fantasy novels

At Aethon Books, we’re open to all genre fiction, with a focus on Science Fiction and Fantasy. We don’t care what sub-genre you write in. Hard Sci-fi, Epic Fantasy, Romantasy, Space opera, LitRPG, Military SF, Alt/History, Time Travel and more, our main concern is story, story, story. We are also now open to Thrillers of all types, though with an emphasis on Action, Political, and Military Thrillers.

A compelling narrative should pull us through your world, rife with three-dimensional characters, urgency, and enough conflict to keep things interesting. Make us think, make our heart race, but never forget that the most important thing to us when it comes to fiction, is the plot itself.

We are only looking to publish novel-length work that can either stand-alone or are part of a greater series. No novellas or short story collections at this time. No poetry or plays, graphic novels, or anything else that is plainly not a prose novel.
