Before you submit: Download a free sample of our first publication, Winter in Tirane: The Stories of Jiri Kajane. Of course, we hope you’ll love it so much you’ll decide to read the entire book, but the sample story should give you a pretty good idea of our tastes.

What not to submit: poetry, children’s books, hard core erotica. We’re not squeamish, and we love good sex writing, but please read previous work before submitting erotica.
