Open Submissions
We open submissions to writers regularly throughout the year, looking for stories to feature in a range of our print titles, as well as our monthly fiction newsletter. We add new calls here all the time, so make sure to keep checking. You can also sign up to our newsletter and follow us on social media @flametreepress, so you never miss anything!
Current calls:
Gothic Fantasy Series
- Zombie World - Deadline: 9th August, 2026
- We want your stories to explore the folkloric roots, interpretations and definitions, historical manifestations, symbolism, origin tales, new scenarios, and the many iterations of undead who could all be defined as 'zombies'.
- Cosmic Horror - Deadline: 9th August, 2026
- We invite you to create brand new tales that give a nod to Lovecraft's influence on the weird horror genre while presenting new settings, characters, cultures and concepts, pushing the boundaries of the surreal, the impossible, the liminal, the shapeless, and the creeping dread – but always on a vast, incomprehensible, cosmic level.
