Longer Stories

Farthest Star Publishing is thrilled to announce an open submission call for stories and novellas that transport readers to distant worlds. Whether you're an established author or a fresh voice in speculative fiction, we invite you to contribute to our growing catalog of novellas, chapbooks, and "forgotten format" works.

 

We're looking to compile a catalog of standalone stories that will be published in paperback and eBook, stories that can be read in one or two sittings, are relatively inexpensive for the reader, offer the reader the chance to explore new authors and voices without the obligation of a 500 page novel, and stories that offer the tighter focus only a shorter work can bring. 

​

Submission Guidelines:​

  • Word Count: 8,000 to 17,000 words.

  • Submissions Open: March 10, 2024 and are ongoing.

  • Please send your manuscript as an [.rtf file] in standard manuscript format (to see an example, click here) to fartheststarpublishing@gmail.com. In the subject line, type “Longer Stories” Submission - [TITLE] – [WORD COUNT].

  • A short cover letter is advised. Remember to put your name and the title of your story.

  • Multiple submissions are welcome, but no more than three works from any author.

  • Simultaneous Submissions: Yes, just let us know if your story has been accepted elsewhere.

  • Reprints: Accepted and preferred, but only if the work hasn't been published in the last three years. (Let us know where and when).

  • AI Content: Sorry, but we do not accept content written wholly or in part by AI at this time.

  • Compensation: $10 for accepted stories.

  • Rights: We seek non-exclusive World English Rights for print and digital formats.

 

We're on the hunt for tales that captivate, provoke thought, and offer a unique perspective. Join us in expanding the boundaries of speculative fiction. Submit your work and become part of Farthest Star Publishing's journey through the cosmos.

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 conglomerate

Full details How can I submit my idea to Quirk? We love smart, original, cool, and fun books! However, each editor has their own submissions policy, so please review their guidelines carefully. Our house policy: We only review digital queries and sample material. No physical submissions, please. Thank you for thinking of us! Who should I contact? Jhanteigh Kupihea (Editorial Director)  loves exceptionally written, high-concept adult fiction and pop-culture-driven non-fiction. If your mystery/thriller has a true-crime or feminist twist to it, send it to her! She loves horror—the more atmospheric and psychological, the better. (Not a fan of violent and gory.) She loves fun, voice-y novels for women, especially ones that focus on female friendships or subvert romantic comedy tropes. Regardless of the genre, she loves anything that breaks the mold and plays with unusual structures, so think of her for your modern update on the epistolary novel or your interactive n
