Our Imprints

We have been honored to have added some truly dedicated and talented editors to our pool. We are currently accepting for our imprints based on genre. While your story must always contain some mythic fictional elements, please choose the most appropriate imprint editor to receive your submission. Please do not submit to more than one imprint editor. If an editor feels that your work is better suited to a different imprint, he or she will forward it to the appropriate editor. For additional submissions guidance by genre, please review the appropriate page linked in the navigation menu to the right.

Drollerie Press publishes our stories through a number of “lines” or “imprints” to help our readers better find the books they want to read.

Chrysography: If you consider your work literary, speculative, or poetic in nature, please submit it to darin @ drolleriepress.com.

Quadrivium: If your work fits within the genre of science fiction, please submit it to lisa @ drolleriepress.com.

Gauffer Press: If your work is a mystery, or seems most appropriately named a thriller or espionage story, please submit it to ginger @ drolleriepress.com.

Kettlestitch: If your work is intended for audiences between the ages of 14 and adult with sophisticated conflict and intelligent, engaging characters between the ages of 16 and 19, please submit it to ginger @ drolleriepress.com.

Pen Flourish: for erotica, that is works including explicit sexual content where the story is powered or driven by the sexual activity–a happy ending or happy ever after is not required–please submit to amy @ drolleriepress.com.

Illuminated Press: for romance, that is works that may or may not include sexual content from erotic to fade-to-black, but where the focus of the story is on the development of one or more loving and romantic relationships and includes a happily-ever-after or happy-for-now ending, please submit your story to submissions @ drolleriepress.com. Please add the word ROMANCE in all caps to the subject line of your email.

Grotesqueries: for mythic works of a horrific bent, please submit to submissions @ drolleriepress.com. Please add the word HORROR in all caps to the subject line of your email.

Drollerie Press: For fantasy works, including myths, legends, and fairy tales, please submit to deena @ drolleriepress.com.

The inspirational fiction, GLBT, and multicultural fiction lines are not yet established. We do want to publish works in those areas. If you have a story that fits within those genres, or something that does not fall within the guidelines of the imprints above, please continue to submit to submissions @ drolleriepress.com. In the subject line, please include the genre within which you believe your story best falls.

Please review the submissions guidelines carefully. We are still receiving works that are formatted with unusual fonts and spacing, without page numbers, author name, and title on every page, and that do not fall within our guidelines. Please note: We no longer read submissions that do not demonstrate that a reasonable attempt has been made to follow our guidelines.
