Submission Guidelines

CURRENTLY WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING OUTSIDE SUBMISSIONS. Please check back in 2022.


Genres we accept are Dark Fiction and Urban Fantasy ONLY. We are actively looking for female horror writers to build our brand.

Please send the following to sarah@crushingheartsandblackbutterfly.com

- A brief summary of your manuscript (2 paragraphs should suffice), your word count, previous publishing credits, and any links to you on the internet in the body of your email.

- Your manuscript as an attachment as a WORD doc or docx file, 1.5 line spacing, 12pt. font size, Times New Roman, .5 first line indents, no extra space between paragraphs, no headers/footers/page numbers.

- No pedophilia, homophobia, racism, domestic violence, or non-consensual sex. These elements can be part of your character's life experience, but not the overriding theme of the work.

- Please include "submission/name of your work" in the subject line of your email.

- Send your manuscript as a doc or docx attachment to sjdavis@vamptasy.com. In the subject line clearly state "submission/name of work".

Due to the OVERWHELMING success of CHBB, Vamptasy, and HOT INK our submissions inbox is overflowing. We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm, but must ask that you please allow six to eight weeks for a response. If you have submitted and have not heard from us after that time then you may assume we have passed on your manuscript.
