Call for Submissions

Literary magazines (eg. Peasant Magazine) sometimes do a "Call for Submissions" in which they are looking for authors to submit their short stories, flash fiction, novellas and sometimes even pulp fiction length novels for publication in their magazine/journal.

In the case of "Arcane Tomes", which is more of a website pretending to be a bookstore (or is it a bookstore which links to other websites for purchasing options?), we are looking for indie fantasy authors to submit their books so that the authors of those books can then get free advertising in our online bookstore (of sorts).

We are looking for authors who write in all branches and subgenres of fantasy, including but not limited to:

• Afro Fantasy
• Dark Fantasy
• Epic Fantasy
• Fairy Tales and Folklore
• Fantasy Anthologies
• Fantasy Magazines
• Grimdark Fantasy 
• Heroic Fantasy
• Paranormal Fantasy
• Romantasy / Fantasy Romance  
• Science Fantasy 
• Sword and Sorcery
• Urban Fantasy

And many other subgenres. Horror Fantasy, Court Fantasy, Viking Fantasy, Weird Westerns, etc. If it is a subgenre that has Fantasy in the name, we want it listed here.

The only real issue is that we only accept submissions from Indie Fantasy Authors. Traditional published authors who already have their books in brick-and-mortar bookstores need not apply.

Our goal is to provide an easy way for readers to browse their favourite subgenres and easily connect with indie authors that they've never heard of before.

What You Get

Submitting your book(s) nets you:

• Your book(s) gets listed on our Bookshelf.
• One free post in our Updates section.
• Your book(s) will be listed in various subgenre categories, and in the future additional bookshelves dedicated to specific subgenres of fantasy.
  

And you can always submit more books later. You don't have to submit all your books at once. In fact, there are benefits to only submitting 1 to 3 books at a time, because you will get multiple posts in the updates section if you spread them out a bit.

How to Submit

Email peasantmagazine@gmail.com with the following:

• Description(s) of your book(s).
• About the Author biography.
• Low resolution images of your book covers, preferably 200 pixels in width and 300 pixels in height.

That's it. We will take care of the rest and notify you when your book has been added to our Bookshelf section.

 

 

 

UPDATE

As of March 2026 ArcaneTomes.Org is clocking between 6,000 and 7,000 visitors per month, indicative of the website's growing popularity. With 140+ books listed on our Bookshelf that means the average author is receiving about 40-50 views of their book per month, or approximately 500-600 views annually.

If just 1 out of every 200 visitors ends up buying your book, isn't that worth it to submit your book to ArcaneTomes.Org? Because that would mean an extra 2-3 sales annually. Or more, if the reader ends up buying your whole series. Or a lot more, if ArcaneTomes.Org continues to grow in popularity.

We know authors are dreamers. We are too. Which is why we want to help you to sell books!
