Submissions Guidelines!
So you have a story or article or review you’d like to submit? Great! We’re thrilled to hear it and want to see it! But, as with every magazine, there are guidelines we’d like you to review and follow.
Leng! is an open market for both new and experienced writers. We encourage new writers to submit their work and want to help provide an avenue for them to develop their own voices. Please look over the Guidelines before submitting.
FICTION: Leng! is always looking for new fiction. As this is a magazine devoted exclusively to the Cthulhu Mythos, it is logical that the story you submit have something to do with the Mythos but there’s more to it than just that. We’re not simply looking for Mythos fiction, we’re looking for GREAT Mythos fiction! By that we mean fiction that goes beyond the usual “scholars fighting cultists with Elder Signs” and the like. We want fiction that is as intelligent and sophisticated as Lovecraft’s original Mythos tales. Consider the concepts that are behind the Mythos. The alienness, the outsideness that he attempted to portray. Do not just go for the average plot but dig deeper and explore the philosophy behind the Mythos. That’s what we want to see and we know you can do it! Payment is 3 cents a word upon publication. Submissions are returned within 2 months. Queries will receive a response within two weeks. Please query first before submitting any story over 7,000 words.
NONFICTION: Much has been written about the Cthulhu Mythos and there is still much, much more to say. If you have an article about some aspect of the Mythos, or an examination of a Mythos writer, then send it along! While some articles are assigned, most articles that appear in Leng! are freelance, over the transom submissions. We welcome articles that deal with any aspect of the Mythos in it’s many forms (books, stories, comics, film, games, television and even toys!) so please feel free to submit anything you might have. Payment is 3 cents a word upon publication. Submissions are returned within 2 months. Queries will receive a response within two weeks. Please query first before submitting any story over 7,000 words.
ARTWORK: Leng! is actively looking for Mythos artists. If you have previously finished Mythos artwork, please feel free to submit the work either electronically (as a jpeg or tif file) or through the mail (no originals please!). We need both color and b/w art. If you would like to work for Leng! (Producing artwork to accompany stories), please contact us with your samples. Payment for artwork varies depending upon size and color.
POETRY: Leng! is looking for poetry of a Mythos slant. Submissions may be sent electronically or through the mail. Payment is $10-$40 depending upon length. Submissions are returned within 2 months. Queries will receive a response within two weeks.
