Deadline: September 13th, 2019 Payment: Contributor's Copy Your story should be between 500 and 3,000 words and edited to the best of your ability. Stories must have a supernatural theme (ghosts, spirits, demons, hauntings, anything that goes bump in the night.) Submissions are open now until 11:59 p.m. September 13, 2019 EST.

Submissions should only have mild, non-graphic violence, no explicitly sexual/erotic scenes, and “bad” language should not be used excessively but may be used in limited capacity. To avoid rights issues, no living public figures should be used as characters, no fan-fiction involving proprietary characters, and no song lyrics. However, passing references to these are fine. All submitting authors will be notified of our decision within 2 weeks of closing date. If your submission is chosen, you will receive a full publishing contract outlining the details of our agreement.
