We accept all styles and works that fit into the genres of science fiction, and fantasy, including horror and dystopian, dungeons and dragons, gothic, starships, war, space travel, and everything in between!
​
Whether you have written a short story, poem, novella, epic series or play - all are welcome.
​
The publishing process can take time, so if your manuscript is accepted, is can take around 18 months - but this is only a rough guide.
Hybrid Prices and Packages
Do you have a story in you? If your manuscript is selected, you'll have the opportunity to select which hybrid option you prefer which enables you to be able to choose something that fits your budget and needs. Our goal is to help you celebrate your hard work and dedication with a publishing option that is transparent and clear.
​
Not wanting to do the hybrid publishing route? No problem, we're working towards traditional publishing also, so keep an eye of the website for further updates on this.
The cost of living is becoming increasingly more difficult for people and can become a barrier to wanting to get published.
