Submission Guidelines

Fiction

We're occasionally looking for weird fiction from the future to the ancient past, as well as any dreamings in between. Short stories to novellas enjoyed. See this page to find out more about what we're looking for. Submission samples should be attached as RTF files. Use blank lines to separate paragraphs, and don't use tabs at all. Don't double-space. Exact rates depend on the project, but usually we pay 1/4 cent per word for 1 year exclusive print and electronic rights; after that, all rights revert to author, but we retain a nonexclusive license to continue to print/reprint the story in future editions (as our books are POD) or in electronic format. Contributors can order up to ten copies of the work in which their story was used at cost plus shipping.

Visual Art

We are primarily interested in buying full rights to original artwork. Prices are negotiable; query first. Don't send us images via email without prior approval.

• We work out financial arrangements via email, but like to discuss projects on a private bulletin board, which is accessed through an account on our public bulletin board. This way we can keep multiple conversations with different contributors in the same topic going on, and we all can reference each other's thoughts or sketches with ease. Almost a third of the artists we work with prefer email, so we understand if you don't want to do the BBS/forum thing.

• While we do insist on full ownership of commissioned art, we're willing to give you an unlimited license to do as you will with your pictures. This license begins as soon as the work for which we commissioned the art has been published, and it means you can still put your pictures on prints, t-shirts, your web page, or whatever, as long as it's clear that Peryton Publishing remains the official copyright holder.

• Artists can order up to ten copies of the work for which their art was commissioned at cost plus postage.
