We have open submission twice per year during the months of January and August. Our goal is to publish two works per year.

Simultaneous Submissions: Simultaneous submissions—submitting a work to more than one publisher at the same time—are permitted. We respectfully ask that you notify us promptly when you are accepted by another publisher.

Multiple submissions: Multiple submissions—an author submitting more than one work per submission window—are accepted, but please limit the number to three works per submission window.

Agented submissions: we accept agented submission year-round. Agents should contact [email protected] to initiate the process.

We only accept completed novel-length works of at least 90,000 words that are unpublished, were not self-published, and not made freely available. Works generated with A.I. (artificial intelligence) tools are not accepted.

Authors wishing to submit a work must send a PDF of the first three chapters to: [email protected], and mail a print version of the first three chapters to the address below.

The email subject line should say: Attention Submissions – [Name of Author] [Title of Book].

Authors wishing to have the printed work returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (S.A.S.E.).

Submitted works must be postmarked during the month of open submission to be considered. Works submitted outside the submission window that include a S.A.S.E. will be returned. Those submissions that are not accepted or are received outside the submission dates will be destroyed.

We will respond by the end of December for the August submission window, and the end of May for the January submission window. If we have not responded by the end of the respective period, you can query us regarding the status at [email protected]. Submissions not accepted will be destroyed.

All correspondence will come from DarkAgePress.com.
