Welcome to the submissions page for The Dark Sire.

Please complete BOTH STEPS of the submission process. STEP 1 is a 5-point submission form and STEP 2 is emailing a query letter with the file of your submission. One form per work, but please send all files in one email. Creatives can submit upto 5 submissions per quarter as long as a separate form accompanies each piece. Any submission that is incomplete will be disregarded.

If you have questions, please contact us before you submit.

STOP! Have you read the full submission guidelines?
Please do so before submitting.

**PLEASE NOTE: We have received several submissions lately that do NOT follow our guidelines and have
since REJECTED them without reading the work submitted. PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES before
submitting so that your work is read with full consideration. Thank you!**

STEP 1: Complete form.
An incomplete form will immediately disregard your submission without further notice.
Be sure to follow the directions. ONE (1) work per form.

By submitting to The Dark Sire (TDS), you give the magazine, its publisher (BSC Publishing Group), and its editor permission to print your work in an upcoming issue, which runs a digital, print, and podcast version of its content, as well as folk songs for its poetry. Work in issues will be used for promotional purposes through social media, YouTube, podcasts, live events, and the websites of TDS and BSC Publishing Group. Original authors/poets/artists retain copyright, but TDS and BSC Publishing Group keep first-print rights of all versions of its issues and media.
