At Electric Forest Publishing, literary excellence and an engaging read are a must. Authors are invited to query first before sending along an entire manuscript. Queries should include a one-page synopsis of the project, as well as three sample chapters and a comprehensive outline.

DarkHart Press routinely advertises short story calls for anthologies through such venues as the excellent Ralan.com and the Shocklines message board. There is no need to query for anthology calls—send the entire manuscript after first carefully reading our guidelines and please, only submit during the reading period. Novel writers should query first and follow our posted guidelines as well.

The same for novels also applies to our new Raven's Wing Books imprint. We open to submissions there on October 1, 2009.

For authors interested in our tailored publishing services, please contact us directly to discuss your project and to receive a quoted fee. We do private consults on books in the US and the UK. Please send all such queries to:
