Specific Fae Theme Short stories/Poetry/Art/Haiku/Photography.
Editing is provided. If your story is in draft form it is still acceptable, however it must be readable. Gore is acceptable, however do keep it reasonable, no one wants to read gore for gore’s sake. We do not accept erotica at this time. We are here to showcase good indie authors, and are more than willing to help those just getting started.
We will accept stories that have been published before, as long as you retain publishing rights.
The submissions will decide how this is handled. If we recieve mostly art and poetry it will be unpaid/ebook copy only. If it is more stories it will be a percentage of the royalties.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
