If you have a story that keeps readers up at night, I want to see it. What I’m Looking For I am currently accepting physical copies (paperback or hardcover) in the following genres: - Horror - Thriller - Dark Fantasy (Please note: To ensure your book finds its best champion, I am not the right audience for stories heavily featuring romance, LGBTQ+ main characters, or M/M and F/F pairings.) Where Your Review Will Live If your book is selected, I will post an honest review permanently on my Ream blog, highlight it once on my main social media, and feature it in my newsletter to help readers find your work! Bonus Opportunity 🎙️ When you fill out the form, you'll also have the option to let me know if you'd be interested in having your book featured on my YouTube audiobook channel! How to Submit Since I am only accepting physical mail, please read the full guidelines at the top of the form (including my No Return policy). Once your book is in the mail, drop your tracking number into the form so I can keep an eye out for it! 👉Submit Your Book Here! I can't wait to see the terrifying worlds you've all built. Drop a 🩸 in the comments if you're planning to send something my way!

Update on Anthology Submissions & Strategy Tips
Hey everyone! I’m still finalizing the Google Forms for the anthology submissions. I’ll post the links as soon as they are ready. In the meantime, I wanted to give you a few things to think about while you prepare: 1. Keeping It Accessible (Entry Fees) We don't want money to be the reason you don't submit. To help with that, we offer a significant discount on editing services for anthology stories. In that same spirit, we are keeping entry fees as low as possible. • Suggested Fee: $20 per story (for standard length, non-flash anthologies). • Minimum Fee: $5. Note: Entry fees are non-refundable. If you are able to pay more than the suggested amount, it helps balance out those who can only pay the minimum. We appreciate your support in making this accessible for everyone! 2. Strategy: Connect Your Worlds Use your anthology submission as a bridge to your other work! This is a perfect opportunity to write: • A lead-in to one of your existing book series. • A side character's origin story. • A prequel to a larger project. Why? Because every participating author gets an Author Page in the anthology. If readers love your short story, you can use that page to tell them exactly where to go to read more. Make sure your story is complete (with an ending!), but let it serve as an invitation to your universe. Any questions? Amber and Tirzah are happy to help.
