I’m once again accepting submissions to The Lovecraft eZine. Stories pay $50. To submit a story, please read the submission guidelines, then email your story to me at michaeldaviswriter@gmail.com . If you have submitted a story and have not heard from me yet, you will, within the next couple of days — I promise. Past submissions were so numerous that I fell behind in getting back to people, and I apologize for that, but I’m catching up.
We Want
The Lovecraft eZine wants well-written, original Lovecraftian and Cthulhu Mythos fiction. While we enjoy and appreciate pastiche, best read works will feature an original voice and new takes on old themes, not simply mimicking Lovecraft’s style. Simple mentions of Cthulhu or the Necronomicon do not make a story Lovecraftian. For us, the best Lovecraftian fiction share the tone and themes of Lovecraft. We are flexible and want you to show us what Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos mean to you.
We prefer stories under 5000 words but there is no maximum word-count; longer stories accepted may be serialized.
Reprints, Multiple and Simultaneous Submissions
The Lovecraft eZine does accept reprints but we prefer original fiction. We do not accept simultaneous submissions; if you submit a work, please wait until you have received a reply before submitting again.
Content Standards
Graphic scenes and obscenity are acceptable if they are integral to the piece, within reason. The Lovecraft eZine has no interest in stories that are only gratuitous depictions of sex or gore. We may reject a story for any reason. Submission does not equal automatic acceptance.
How To Submit
Send submissions to MichaelDavisWriter AT gmail.com:
– Attach the story in RTF or DOC formats.
– In the subject line put the STORY TITLE (in all caps), your name and word count.
– In then body of the email, put your name, pen-name (if any), contact information, a short bio, two to three lines, as well as any credits or relevant websites you wish to plug.
– The story should be double-spaced, in a readable font, and as you originally formatted it; paragraphs indented, italicized words in italics, etc. It is helpful to our editors if you follow the standard manuscript guidelines (Though no story will be rejected for not following them to the letter)
Response Time
The Lovecraft eZine will respond to your submission as soon as possible; our policy is to have a response to all submissions within 1 month.
Editorial Caveat
Stories should be thoroughly proofread before submission. We do understand that minor mistakes will slip by and we will correct them before publication on the website. Minor grammarical changes may be made to the story; however, we will seek the author’s permission before publication.
Payment
The Lovecraft eZine pays a flat rate of $50 per story via PayPal, payable upon publication on the website.
Rights
The Lovecraft eZine buys non-exclusive rights to publish your work on the website. The author retains all other rights and all responsibilities of the piece. This means you are free to have it published elsewhere at any other time and are responsible if the rights to the story are questioned or if there are accusations of plagiarism.
