Speculative fiction for the inquisitive mind
Submissions for Unseen Stories are now CLOSED.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their work! We’ve been blown away by the response and are currently reviewing all entries. Decisions will be sent out via email by September 1st. Follow us on instagram (@crypsispress) or join our newsletter to stay updated on selection announcements and future submission calls.
The "Collective" Compensation Package
We believe authors should benefit directly from their work. Instead of a small one-time payment, we offer a model designed for long-term ownership:
Physical Copies
Domestic (US) authors will receive three high-quality, professional paperback copies of the anthology upon launch. International authors will receive one high-quality, professional paperback copy of the anthology upon launch.
Permanent At-Cost Rights
Authors in the anthology gain the right to purchase additional copies of the book at the printing cost (plus shipping) forever.
Keep 100% of Sales
You are encouraged to sell these copies at book fairs, signings, or through your own website. You keep 100% of the retail profit from every copy you sell.
No Submission Fees
For our inaugural anthology, there are no fees to submit or publish. We are looking for the best voices to define the Crypsis aesthetic.
A Note on AI
Submissions written in part or wholly by any form of AI will be rejected, and the submitter will be permanently banned from submitting work to Crypsis Press. Our AI can detect your AI.
