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.

​

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.

    The Dark Sire Literary Magazine Submissions

    Your name will be printed as you enter it here. Be sure to check for spelling, punctuation, and capital and lowercase letters.
    The title will be printed exactly as submitted here. Please double check for accuracy and spelling, including capital and lower case letters and punctuation.
    Please check the category and genre of your work. Work can be a mix of all the genres that The Dark Sire represents, but cannot include genres outside of that representation.
    You will be contacted via email about your submission status. Please check your email for accuracy. Any author/artist that cannot be contacted because of an inaccurate email will be inelligible for consideration.
    A bio of the author and synopsis of the story/poem/art is needed for consideration. Be sure to give all information asked: BIO and SYNOPSIS (artists need to discuss year, medium, dimensions, etc.).
Submit

STEP 2: E-mail Query Letter with file attachment.

Email your file to: darksiremag@gmail.com
Be sure your file is the correct format: fiction and poetry use a WORD Document (.doc/.docx) but art uses JPG (300 dpi).
Please email your file within 24 hours of submitting the above form. If you do not complete the above form AND/OR send your attachment, your submission will be incomplete and thus disregarded. Did you complete BOTH steps?
REMEMBER: Professionalism is the first thing our editor looks for in any submission. For this reason, be sure to use Shunn as the formatting guideline for how to format your story or poem, Jane Friedman's query letter guidelines to email your file, and The Practical Art World for art label information.
**If you don't use a query letter, your submission will be incomplete and disregarded without further notice.**
