Black Spot Books is a women-owned specialty press dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and championing women’s voices in horror.

Through our publishing program, anthology projects, poetry showcases, and other special initiatives, we create space for bold, boundary-pushing work from established and emerging writers alike—and help build a lasting record of women’s contributions to contemporary horror.

Below you’ll find our current opportunities for submissions. Each project has its own eligibility requirements, submission windows, and guidelines, so please review the individual call carefully before submitting.

We look forward to reading your work.
