Rights
Pen'd Darkness purchases the right to publish your submission in one online
magazine edition, unless other arrangements are made. All rights revert to the author after publication.
Payment
Currently, as payment for your submission, we are offering full PDF versions
of the magazine edition housing your submission, and your name forever imprinted upon the Path to Twilight, our equivalent
of the Hall of Fame.
Submission Guidelines
- Your artwork must be your own work in its entirety. Plagiarized work will not
be accepted and those who attempt to submit work that is not their own may not be accepted in the future.
- We are currently only accepting short stories between 500 - 10,000 words.
- Stories must be either dark fantasy or horror. We do not accept stories written
explicitly for erotica or gore. Stories must have plot.
- Your submission must be well-written. Pen'd Darkness will not accept short stories
lacking in plot, proper structure, or correct grammar or punctuation.
- Stories including real-life people are not permitted. All work must be fictional
and original.
- When submitting your story...
- Submit as an attachment - do not include in the body of the email.
- Include a cover letter in the body of the email, and a short biography about
yourself, written in third person, as well as the correct word count.
- In the subject line, please put "Pen'd Darkness - submission." Emails with any
other subject line will be deleted without being opened.
- Submissions usually take about a month to review. If you do not receive a reply
within a month's time, feel free to submit a follow-up email and include your name, the name of your submission, and the date
submitted. DO NOT resubmit your story unless we request it of you.
- Please note that it is a possibility that rules may change in the future. Please
check back for updates before submitting new work.
Submissions that do not follow these guidelines will be rejected.
