General Submission Guidelines

We always welcome submissions here at Rainfall but you must remember that due to the nature of the Small Press it does take a while to get our books published. After all there's only two of us and we have the constraints of cash flow to worry about and the fact that we have to eat, sleep and exist in the mundane world on occasion. So . . . you may have to wait a while to see your work published

Payment

Unfortunately  we can  only  pay contributors 1  copy of the book they appear in unless it's a single author collection or a novel in which case you get more. Also, once an author has written a collection or novel for us, they can purchase any other previous or forthcoming Rainfall title with a discount of 40% off cover price, and free postage.

Rainfall Chapbooks

Rainfall have now been publishing a series of successful chapbooks for over two years. These are published on a regular basis with at least two magazines (and often more) being published every month. We are looking for submissions for these in the form of poetry and short stories. The best of these stories will be chosen for our planned series of Cthulhu Mythos anthologies, if deemed suitable. Volume 1, Cthulhu's Creatures has already been published and is now sold out. Submission by word attachment or something similar is fine

LOVECRAFT'S DISCIPLES is our most successful and popular chapbook and early issues are beginning to sell out. We are on the lookout for material with a Lovecraftian influence, be it in style or content. Cthulhu Mythos fiction is welcome.

Lovecraft's Disciples

The Yellow Sign

As the title suggests, this magazine is dedicated to the King in Yellow Mythos created by Robert W. Chambers. Again, short stories and poetry

Weird Worlds

Strange Sorcery

E'CH PI EL is another magazine dedicated to fiction inspired by H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos.
