Likes

We have a particular craving for the dark and macabre, strange and illuminating, wicked and spectacular.  All marginalizations-in work and author-strongly encouraged.

​

Dislikes

Racism, bigotry, and intolerance will not be tolerated; such tropes should be handled sensitively.  I’m personally adverse to child molestation and rape, FYI.  Priestess & Hierophant Press is not a venue for children or YA works; adults only.

​

I’m looking for brief works in the 20-60 page range, with some overlap on either side.  Query first if anxious about your length.   Along with your first 10 pages, I’d like a one-page synopsis, chapter outline where appropriate, and brief bio(s).  Co-creators accepted.  Please use Shunn standard manuscript format for your written submissions.  For art, please submit 5-10 images in .jpeg or .png, 300 DPI, with a cover letter containing a brief bio and artist statement.

​

For online publication consideration, from which I’ll do a print anthology annually, a submission of 3-5 poems, 1 short fiction work (2,000 – 3,500), 1-2 flash fiction works (less than 1,500 words each), or 3-5 images will suffice, plus a brief cover letter and bio.  Submissions are now open and rolling.  Please be mindful of the following themes and publication dates.  Each issue’s submission window opens on the day of the previous issue’s publication:
