Welcome to Dark Age Press
Announcing Open Submission for the month of August
Who We Are
Dark Age Press is a small, independent publisher. We presently focus on Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Literary Fiction.
Our mission: to support local, independent bookstores and pop-up bookstores, and, as such, we only sell to those bookstores.
Our goal is to publish two works per year.
Open Submissions
We have open submission twice per year during the months of August and January.
We only accept completed works. Authors wishing to submit a work must send a PDF of the first three chapters to: submissions@darkagepress.com, and mail a print version of the first three chapters to the address below.
The email subject line should say: Attention Submissions - [Name of Author] [Title of Book].
Authors wishing to have the printed work returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
We will respond by the end of December for the August submission window, and the end of May for the January submission window. If we have not responded by the end of the respective period, you can query us regarding the status at submissions@darkagepress.com.
Our mailing address is:
