Submissions should be no less than 750 words and no more than 5000 words in length. Files submitted should be in .docx or .doc format. Please use modern manuscript format for your submission. All stories must be written in the English language.

Only submissions not currently under consideration for other publications will be accepted. All work submitted through this open call must be previously unpublished. If the story has been posted on the author’s social media or website, we will ask that it is removed should the story be selected for publication. Multiple submissions by the same author are allowed.

Heroic Books welcomes submissions from all writers, regardless of gender/gender identity, disability, ethnic origin, religion, sexuality, or age. We would especially like to encourage submissions from writers who may be marginalised or underrepresented in the Fantasy genre.

There is a £50 authors fee for each published story.
