Why submit a short horror story to us?

-We pay $15 USD to each author chosen PLUS around 4% royalties (depending on our final story count) for 4 years.

-Rights returned after 6 months of publication date.

-We are NOT a publishing house. We are two indie authors who are women who want to help other women. (trans women and non-binary/gender fluid included) succeed in the indie author world.

-Our second anthology Twisted Tales of Halloween Horror sold over 4,000 copies. It was voted Best Indie Horror Book 2023 (hosted by @catiereadsandwrites on IG) Hosted by readers, nominated by readers, voted on by readers! It holds over 4 stars on Goodreads and Amazon.

-We handle everything from cover design to marketing and everything in between. BUT we communicate with authors during design and help create something we all love. Simultaneously, we walk authors through what we are doing and how we are doing it so that newer authors can learn the steps of indie publication.

-Authors finalize their edits which keeps a lot of control in their hands.

-We design graphics and pre-write posts so that authors can market as much or as little as they’re comfortable with, but it’s not required. (Just very much appreciated and great for sales. )

-It’s fun!
