June 10th, 2011 Lorna D. Keach 
Let’s be honest with ourselves; many of us do not expect great things from small press publishers. (Many of us don’t expect great things from big box publishers, but that’s an altogether different rant.) But just because we may not expect great things does not mean there’s not a ton of very talented people working [...]

March 31st, 2011 Jessica Brown [Note: Crossposted from Defiled Curator] Seeing as how my Facebook feed is comprised mainly of fellow authors, many of them small-press or self-published (and who are, by and large, absolutely phenomenal; I could devote an entire post to just listing the excellent works of friends and associates I’ve been exposed to over the last few [...]

January 21st, 2011 Lorna D. Keach 
“We’re open to submissions from January 15-February 28, 2011. The Red Penny Papers publishes webfiction that celebrates the spirit of the penny dreadful, the sensationalist and gothic novel, and their more modern successor, the pulp magazine– the catch is that it must have a dark speculative bent. We want stories of the underbelly: opium dens [...]

January 21st, 2011 Lorna D. Keach 
“HORROR GARAGE combines the best in original dark fiction with the finest in horrific rock n’ roll.

DO NOT submit to HORROR GARAGE (or any similar venue) without being completely familiar with it. Take [...]

The Horror of Self-Critique pt 2
October 1st, 2010 Lorna D. Keach 
(Or, Why don’t we just put the Writer’s Market down for a bit and relax?) I collect old college Literature textbooks. It’s a wretched habit, because it means there’s now 70 copies of Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” in my house—but, then again, none of my habits are particularly healthy. Still, this week, I stumbled [...]
The Horror of Self-Critique, pt 1
September 24th, 2010 Lorna D. Keach 
(Or, why won’t my inner voices just shut up?) I’ve got a book coming out. It’s small press, and its only loosely horrific so I’m not plugging it here, but suffice it to say the experience has taught me quite a lot about publishing novels. (I’m working out all my industry naiveté before my Great [...]
