Submissions

 

(14th September 2025)

 

We are open to receiving submissions once again, although please note that at the moment we are only looking for full short story collections, not novels.

 

Your proposed full collection should total between 75,000 and 120,000 words

 

Subject matter and style: We would like to receive literary strange/supernatural fiction. We are not interested in high fantasy, violent horror or young adult fiction. If you write within a traditional genre such as vampire or ghost fiction then please make sure that the more clichéd trappings of your genre are, at best, a very marginal part of your work. Please note: we do not publish teen, children's or young adult fiction.

 

Payment: to be negotiated.

 

Submissions: Electronic submissions should be sent to ray@tartaruspress.com and we would prefer your work as a Word or rtf attachment. No physical mail submissions please.

 

When first getting in contact, please send only a sample two or three stories.

 

Please do not send AI generated submissions.
