About

Heroic quests. Epic battles between good and evil. Worlds populated with monsters, errant knights, faerie folk, demons, wizards and dragons. These are all fine things in our opinion, and we seek out the original in the traditional. However, even we sometimes tire of hanging around in the cold, damp castle until the king sends us off on a another quest for another magic sword. Therefore dark fantasy, urban fantasy, literary fantasy, and crossovers with science fiction and horror are also welcome. Other genres we like served straight up include horror, the new weird, steampunk, and soft sociological science fiction. We consider ourselves LGBT friendly and welcome themes of alternative sexuality. Pink Narcissus is a small press publisher founded in 2010.

Fiction Open

In particular, we are interested in fiction novels that are well-written but may have been passed over by the larger publishing houses because they do not neatly fit into a specific genre or are just not "commercial" enough. If you have such a novel, then Pink Narc might be the home for your work. Although we will consider most types of fiction, preference will be given to novellas and novels with strong elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and/or horror. Sorry, but we are not really interested in YA (Young Adult) novels.

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.
