We believe that good stories reflect the incredible diversity and potential of the human species, and want our catalog to show that.

This includes, but is not limited to, writers of any race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, class, and physical or mental ability. We are actively looking for submissions from writers from underrepresented populations. The Nightfire team is looking for novels and novellas for adults across the breadth of the horror genre-from the cosmic and Lovecraftian to the beloved undead tropes of zombies, ghosts, and slashers and the more uncanny and internal terrors of isolation, lost love, and aging. If you have trouble with our submission portal, please email What We’re Looking For: Once you have registered on Moksha, you can use that portal to check the status of your submission. Our submission portal will also ask for a cover letter, where you should include a pitch and a short author bio. When submitting, please upload your full manuscript. Nightfire will be open to novel and novella submissions from J(9AM EST) to J(9AM EST). Please be sure to read them carefully so that your submission does not get disqualified. The following guidelines outline how to submit novels and novellas to Nightfire.
