#publishing events

We are now opening applications for:

Authors & publishers

Artisans & bookshops

Speakers & panelists

If you love all things spooky and spine-tingling, you're in the write place! Come share with us your books and zines, your poetry and prose, your horrifying arts and handicrafts.

Only have one or two books to sell? To make this event accessible to debut writers and smaller-scale publishers, we're offering a wider range of table sizes than our usual markets, with half-tables starting at just $30.

Have a lot to say? We're also going to be hosting a few panels on topics like queer horror, monsterfuckers, and horror DIY. Sign up as a speaker here!

#PitMad is happening on Twitter today! Thought I’m currently closed to general queries, I am opening up ONLY for pitches I favorite on #PitMad. Don’t forget to abide by the rules; basically: 

Only pitch completed projects.

Only 3 pitches per project per day.

Use #PitMad and category hashtags (#YA, #MG, #A, #NA, #PB, #NF)

Do not retweet pitches.

Do not favorite pitches unless you’re an agent/editor.

Share tweets without the hashtags to promote authors!
