Send a Query to Tenebrous Press

Important Reminder:
- CURRENT DEMOGRAPHIC: GENERAL
-  Agents: our advances are not significant & our offer does not vary based on the level of renown or whether or not an author is represented. Please take that into consideration when considering investing your time in submitting to us. We are almost guaranteed to only be a good spot for an author's stranger, most difficult to place, most uncommercial work. 
- If providing one chapter doesn't make sense for your manuscript (short chapters, no chapters, etc) provide 1000 words or whatever other quantity makes sense as a sample.
- In the interest of giving everyone a fair chance, please only pitch ONE work, and allow for THREE months between pitches.
- Response times will depend on which calls you submit to & what our workload is, but if you've submitted through here you *will* receive a response as soon as possible. You're ENCOURAGED to simultaneously submit to other markets and always welcome to withdraw for any reason!
