Horned Lark Press

About

We’re a small press in Canada, eh? Obviously we love birds, but we also love dogs and tacos and kind people. And books! SO MANY BOOKS.

We read in all genres, but we want to publish fantasy and science fiction novellas.

But we do have a focus born of our antifascism. Since fascism these days is practically synonymous with white supremacy, and white supremacy has misogyny and a whole host of other hatreds at its core, it means our tastes run towards certain types of stories and away from others.

Please send your anti-monarchist, post-capitalist, decolonized stories. We love monsters and aliens, climate fiction, and … most things, really. We like lots of stuff.

But we’ll pass on military sci-fi, copaganda, and any stories that contain sexual assault, child or animal abuse, or slavery.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.

Dates

Last Updated: 25 Aug 2026
