Stories must be fully edited upon submission. Stories with more than one error per page will be returned to the author for professional editing before any further consideration can be given.

You may submit stories under a pen name, but if your story is accepted, you must be able to sign a contract under your legal name. All sensitive information will remain confidential and be protected by the publisher.

All submissions can receive feedback if you so choose. If you are provided with feedback, consider it constructive. Don't be sensitive, and don't take it personally.

You may have an initial acceptance pending any suggestions for changes by the editor (AKA the Crytpid Curator, not a line editor). All effort will be made by us to clearly communicate what changes are desired and the deadline for submitting changes or waiving your story's spot in the anthology.

Allow up to 4 weeks for a response from the Cryptid Curator after submitting your story.

Fee: There is no "buy-in." You will be paid a per-story fee within 3 months after the end of the crowdfunding campaign. The dollar amount of the per-story fee depends upon the total amount of money raised in the crowdfunding campaign. After platform fees, fulfillment, marketing, and campaign management costs are paid, the remainder will be split equally between all stories accepted in the anthology.
