Drollerie Press: For fantasy works, including urban fantasy, myths, legends, and fairy tales. Chrysography: If you consider your work more literary in nature. Gauffer Press: If your work of mythic fiction resides primarily in the areas of suspense, thrillers and mysteries. Grotesqueries: for mythic works of a horrific or dark speculative bent. Quadrivium: If your work fits within the genre of science fiction. Kettlestitch: If your work is intended for audiences between the ages of 14 and adult with sophisticated conflict and intelligent, engaging characters between the ages of 16 and 19. Pen Flourish: We have combined our romance and erotica under Pen Flourish. We are committed to publishing diverse works by talented authors regardless of race, sex, creed, religion or orientiation.
