SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Gothic Press is closed to chapbook submissions until 1 January 2010.

Gothic Press seeks chapbook manuscripts of fiction, poetry, and scholarship and criticism up to 20,000 words.  Fiction and poetry may be in any style or approach, as long as horror, Gothic, or dark fantasy elements are present. What I most seek is originality--avoid plots that are derivative.  A fresh or original idea has its place in the Gothic chapbook series. Scholarly and critical manuscripts may be on any horror/Gothic author or authors.  Proposals for scholarship may be submitted, and these will be reviewed by established scholars on the topic.  Payment is a $50.00 advance against 10% royalty.  The journal Le Fanu Studies is always open to submissions but is not a paying market.

Internet submissions of chapbooks are welcome. For longer works such as novella chapbooks, send a disposable hard copy via postal mail with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for reply.
