ALL OUR CURRENT SUBMISSION CALLS HAVE DIFFERENT CRITERIA, PLEASE READ THE INDIVIDUAL CALL!

This information  will help you to get accepted:

We will not accept anything that uses AI in any way.

We will not under any circumstances publish erotica, and we aren’t keen on horror of any kind, gore or torture. 

We detest sexist and other stereotypes and deplore derivative plotlines, sloppy writing and clichés, and are bored by romance and chick-lit. We aren't keen on religion of any flavour.

If your writing is motivated by hate of any kind you won't get considered.

Other than that we will consider most genres provided they are beautifully written, imaginative, and have narrative substance and persuasive characterisation

Thank you!
