Submission information and guidelines

Submission information and guidelines will be revised as necessary.

Hadean Press trade publications

Closed for submissions through June 2026.

In 2026 we are seeking to fill gaps in our catalogue, and therefore are especially interested in practical and scholarly books on witchcraft, plant lore, and tarot. Please note we are not publishing tarot cards at this time.

Hadean Press has a special fondness for academic and independent research into the grimoire tradition, hermeticism, texts concerning medieval and Renaissance magic, and works that challenge commonly held perceptions/misconceptions about black/indigenous/diasporic contributions to the magical corpus. We welcome work from practitioners as well as scholars — see our catalogue for examples. We prefer work that doesn’t stray too far into personal gnosis, but have been known to make exceptions.

Hadean Press Guides to the Underworld

Open for submissions.

We seek works of up to 5000 words to be published as a Guide to the Underworld. These pamphlets are intended to assist the magician in their practices and include techniques, information, and examples of work that have a general benefit rather than being limited to one system or path. In 2026 we are especially seeking 'how to' guides.

Asteria's Press occult fiction

All submissions for Asteria's Press should be sent to asteria@hadeanpress.com.

Guidelines for our full-length fiction are coming in 2026. Submissions are currently open for the Elemental Fractions anthologies.

Asteria's Press Elemental Fractions

We are creating a series of four anthologies featuring stories connected to the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, be they found in the world around us, or forged from the elements themselves. In the second title of this series, we invite people to explore the element of AIR. 

We are seeking magical realism, fantasy, fairy tales, speculative fiction, historical fiction, supernatural fiction (not horror), weird fiction, science fiction – the theme of air is more important than what genre the fiction is. 
Submissions should be between 2000 – 4000 words.
No simultaneous or multiple submissions; no re-submissions.
Previously unpublished in English—we ask for first English print and digital (epub) rights.

General Guidelines

We no longer accept non-fiction that does not include a bibliography. Citations are very welcome, too, with footnotes strongly preferred to endnotes. We ask that you submit your completed work as either .rtf or .docx to info@hadeanpress.com. We do not accept postal submissions. Please put the title of your work in the subject line of your email. Please include a brief biography and your contact details in the body of your email, along with a short synopsis of your material.

We welcome texts that include artwork, but we require all artwork to be either a 300dpi tiff or 2mb png. A 32kb jpg image you’ve downloaded from the internet will not produce the print quality we require and will not be considered with your manuscript. We will read completed manuscripts as well as proposals.

We will not consider any fiction or non-fiction submissions that have been translated, written, developed, or assisted by ChatGPT or other generative tools.

We do not accept simultaneous submissions. If another publisher is considering your work, do not send it to us.

Submission does not equal acceptance. We intend to respond to every submission within thirty days.
