Are you an author or artist with a passion for epic fantasy? Have you thought about submitting to Black Gate? Some of the finest stories we’ve accepted have come from new writers, including some who’ve never published before.

But before you submit, it pays to know exactly what we’re looking for — including our rates, our response times, and some of the most common mistakes we see. If you’re interested in being a contributor to Black Gate, be sure to study our guidelines closely before you drop that manuscript in the mail.
