About

When was the last time you finished a novel? For most of us, it was back in school and even then, plenty of us just watched the movie. Some people just don’t have the time, or attention, to finish something 500+ pages long. That’s why we have short stories. But even if you find a short story you like, most of the time it’s sandwiched between a dozen other stories that you may have no interest in reading. If you don’t buy a whole album when you’re only interested in one song, why should you buy a whole anthology? Sigil House Publishing is dedicated to providing individual short stories in digital format for readers who want little bursts of entertainment. Just like the old penny dreadfuls, our stories are quick, powerful, and cheap.

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.
