Are you a writer with something important to say? Fly on the Wall Press seeks exceptional voices crafting political fiction that addresses today's pressing issues. www.flyonthewallpress.co.uk/manuscript-s... #submissions

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

Purchased our first ISBNs - exciting!

We're putting together our monthly newsletter! If you have January opportunities for writers, let us know - we're particularly interested in sharing opportunities for writers in the North of England, and for writers of speculative fiction.

Festive wishes from Carnyx Press! Hope you all have a relaxing, peaceful holiday.

Last call for manuscripts: our reading window closes today at midnight! Submit: carnyxpress.co.uk/submissions/

Heard a couple of times that we're a folklore press, which is a lovely reputation to have and completely understandable, but to clarify: our first anthology is of folklore-themed fiction, and our goal is to publish a range of speculative fiction. Our next anthologies won't be specifically folklore!

Delighted that we now have 500 followers on here! Thank you to everyone who has followed along so far - we've got so much planned to share with you all 🧡

If you're a writer in the North of England, there's two days left to send your work to us for consideration! We're looking for new novellas and short story collections of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror - with a preference for strange and literary writing.

We are so back!! Beneath the Garden Magazine is officially re-opening submissions for our third magazine issue! Details in the link in our bio! We can’t wait to see what you’ve been creating! 🌱

For folk magic is often a serious of fragile truces with the land, a series of appeasements made to nature’s legion of spirits. The cunning folk are diplomats to enfolding otherworlds. Few in the Foreign Office could match their skill. - Dr. M. Benn, 1981 lecture at Woden College, Weychester

If I lived in the north, I would be submitting to Carnyx Press. Good advice from good folk.

Getting ready to send us a publishing enquiry? We've penned a blog post on how to write a query letter: carnyxpress.co.uk/2025/10/30/h...

I'm a writer and have worked in a support role in arts marketing, both employed and freelance, since 2008. Things are the worst I've ever known. Worse than austerity, worse than Covid, worse than the cost of living crisis, as those economic changes become baked into our lives 💔

Exciting news! We're open to queries for novellas and works of collected short fiction, for our 2026-2027 publishing schedule. We want to receive strange and literary fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and weird fiction from writers living in the North of England. Find out more: carnyxpress.co.uk/submissions

Speaking of which, I'll be putting together our November newsletter soon. If you have any events, call-outs, or opportunities for writers in November (of particular interest, but not limited to, writers in the North of England) let us know and we may be able to squeeze it in!

There's a bit of a bug with our newsletter where it's not adding new subscribers at the mo, I'm on the case and it should hopefully be fixed soon!

My comfort in folklore often comes from the fact it ratifies the truths that greed is an evil, tyranny is to be opposed and manners matter. If it legitimises a fear of trespassing against the common good by the rich, it is performing one of its fundamental roles. – #CLNolan #FolkloreThursday

We up! In a day FULL of stellar releases to celebrate, behold our latest issue of FIYAH! Gods and Monsters. Six stories. Three poems. All we're missing are your grabby hands! 🥰 fiyahlitmag.com/shop/issues/...

This is quite exciting. Over the next year, we’re going to be giving away 12,000 of these little books to help spread the love of short stories:
