Writer's Guidelines
GRIMOIRE is a magazine in the classic tradition of Weird Tales. As such, we seek the BEST in horror fiction for each and every issue. Think you've got what it takes to be in GRIMOIRE? Maybe you do but please make sure to follow these guidelines when you submit your stories:
GRIMOIRE seeks the classic type of horror fiction which means NO slasher/gore/erotic horror stories. Think Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Machen, Blackwood, Hodgson and you'll know what we're looking for. We want original horror fiction stories of around 3,500 words. If your story is over 3,500 words, please query before sending it.
Payment is ONE cent per word upon publication. A standard contract is issued upon acceptance of the story which details rate, payment and expected publication date. A free copy of the issue with your story is provided as well.
Simultaneous submissions are ok as long as you state that you are sending a simultaneous submission with your story. Reprints are acceptable provided that the story was printed over one year before your submission but we prefer new stories when possible.
Electronic submissions are accepted. Please send them as attachments in your email and as RTF file formats. Send your email submissions to: thechief@trufanpublications.com
If you wish to snail mail your submission, please send them with an SASE to:
Sam Gafford

Response time on submissions and queries is 60 days.
We look forward to reading your stories and welcoming you to the TruFan family!
