Please refer to individual anthology submission calls below for guidelines on theme, length, and deadline.

​

 Any submissions not following these guidelines will be rejected.

​

1. Email your submission to mischiefpublishing@gmail.com. Include your name and the title of your submission in the subject header.

​

2. Your work must be double-spaced and in a 12pt, PROFESSIONAL font. If you send us a manuscript typed in Comic Sans, WingDings, or Papyrus, your work will be ritually sacrificed to an eldritch clown deity. DO NOT use the "tab" or "space" key to indent your paragraphs - use the ruler at the top of the page or Microsoft Word's paragraph tool. 

​

3. Make sure you're satisfied with the piece you're submitting. We'll be happy to consider edits before the release date, but be sure to proofread to the best of your ability beforehand. 

​

4. As a formality, in the body of your email, please provide a brief cover letter letting us know a little about yourself and what you do. Here is a link to a guideline for standard author cover letters.  How to Write a Short Story Cover Letter 

Don't let this scare you away! You don't have to have any previous experience or publications in order to be accepted, if your story is good, that's all that matters!

​

5. Mischief Publishing is not interested in stories that have gratuitous sex, violence, or excessive swearing. That isn't to say we only want "Family Friendly" content, but we ask that you keep it respectful and be aware of how your words might affect others. 

​

If you have any questions, email mischiefpublishing@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
