Writer’s Guidelines

Here at Cruentus Libri Press we know what we want. We want the very best in new horror that will terrify our readers for years to come. Whether you are veteran writer with a bibliography spanning decades or a rookie putting pen to paper for the first time, so long as your work chills us to the marrow, you are welcome here.

Our guidelines for submission are very simple and you will find them detailed in the links below but, in general terms, be mindful of our golden rule.

THE GOLDEN RULE FOR PUBLICATION

Only submit your best work.

That’s it. Whilst we accept that it is a rare writer indeed who gets everything right on their first submission, we must impress upon you the importance of treating your work with the respect it deserves. We are not interested in first drafts, or streams-of-consciousness that are riddled with basic grammatical errors. Run your story through a spell-checker, have a friend or family member read it through and offer you their honest opinion. Above all else, read it back to yourself a couple of times and don’t be afraid to be harsh with yourself. The odds are that if you’re not truly satisfied with it, nor will we be.

And with that all said and done, click on one of the links below for your next step toward becoming part of our illustrious stable of authors.
