OUR VIBE

Fringe is the exotic, the chaotic, a twisted mind-blowing concoction.

We’re looking for novels, novellas, and short stories primarily in the thriller/horror/sci-fi vein that bleed from genre to genre and can’t be neatly put into a box. Work that is visual, plot-heavy, and potentially adaptable to film and TV—screenwriters welcome and encouraged to submit!

If your work is non-fiction and fits the criteria, send along.

We encourage BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and voices from all over the world.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Email the following to submissions@fringepublishers.com:

Simultaneous submissions are A-OK, but please query using separate submission emails.

  • In the body of your email, paste your complete query letter—word count, genre, paragraph synopsis, comp titles, and bio.
  • Attach a 1 to 3-page synopsis, which discloses the ending (even if it’s a surprise twist).
  • Attach your full manuscript as a Word document .doc or .docx.

RESPONSE

We only respond to submissions we’re interested in publishing. If you don’t hear back from us within ~4 months, the manuscript has not been accepted.

Consideration for:
A Murder of One

Our kick-off publication will be A MURDER OF ONE: Stories inspired by the Counting Crows’ “August and Everything After.”

This wonderful, revolutionary album turned 30 recently. We are looking for short stories inspired by the songs for an anthology, with a word count of 10K or less.

DO NOT give us a literal interpretation of the song. In other words, we don’t want “ROUND HERE: about Maria, a girl from Nashville, who’d like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis.” Be more creative. 

Specify in the email heading if you’re submitting to the Counting Crows Anthology, along with Story Title.

Currently no specific deadline for submissions.


Stay fringe …

Full details  Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J. Cherryh , Mercedes Lackey , Kristen Britain , Melanie Rawn , C.S. Friedman , and Tanith Lee . Despite its high profile, DAW is still a small private company, owned exclusively by its publishers, Elizabeth R. Wollheim and Sheila E. Gilbert. Betsy and Sheila are strongly committed to discovering and nurturing new talent, and to keeping a personal “family” spirit at DAW—something they feel is all too rare in today’s world of international cong...
