Guidelines : Fiction
We're looking for well developed dark fiction, horror, and macabre stories. We are generally uninterested in science fiction and fantasy unless the primary themes are horror and the supernatural (ghosts, undead, apparitions, zombies, etc..). The key to getting published in Necrography is originality and horror appeal.

  • We buy first world serial rights, online publishing rights, and anthology rights. All other rights remain with the author.
  • We accept manuscript lengths from 500 to 6000 words. Please query first if your piece exceeds 6000 words. Queries may be made by email (see the submissions page).
  • We pay for work on acceptance and publish anywhere from 1 to 12 months after acceptance.
  • Byline is granted unless author requests anonymity.
  • Payment for fiction is from $10.00 to $30.00 USD per manuscript.
  • Contributor receives one copy of Necrography when the submission is published.
