Answer: Sorry, but Creative Guy Publishing is not open to general submissions.
Our publishing schedule is entirely full, and we concentrate exclusively on in-house projects and working with authors who already have an established relationship with the press. We do not accept, read, or respond to unsolicited submissions.
To save everybody some valuable time: if you send an uninvited manuscript anyway, it will be deleted without being read.
Answer: You could buy us dinner, but that gets awkward fast.
Because we work within tight-knit, collaborative sandboxes, your best bet is to keep an eye out for specific project announcements. While our regular novel slots are locked down, we occasionally open the floor for shared-world settings or themed anthologies.
If you want to get on our radar, look out for future callouts regarding:
The Moreauvia Project: Stories set within our alternate-history, steampunk biological singularity setting.
Amityville House of Pancakes (AHOP): We still have the best intentions of eventually opening up the griddle for a Vol. 4 humor anthology.
When we do open a specific call for short fiction, the guidelines and reading windows will be posted right here on the site.
Answer: Generally, we seek out specific artists for cover design and interior illustration—meaning we already have a reliable lineup of “usual suspects” we turn to.
However, every now and then a project comes along that requires a completely different aesthetic or stylistic approach. If you think your style fits our brand of weird fiction, we’d ask that you keep on the lookout for the same types of projects mentioned above. When the submission window is open for those, we’ll announce artist guidelines as well.
