SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Gothic Press is closed to chapbook submissions until 1 January 2009.

Gothic Press seeks fiction, poetry, and scholarship and criticism manuscripts 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--svoid 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.  Gothic Press is closed to chapbook submissions until 1 January 2009.  The journal Le Fanu Studies is always open to submissions but is not a paying market.

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