Gaslamp Pulp

Submitting your work

Before submitting, read the guidelines carefully: Gaslamp Pulp only considers complete manuscripts under 20,000 words, including children's books. Do not query with partials or proposals. Because the press is small and online-only, response times can be slow; simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify immediately if your work is placed elsewhere. Your cover letter should be brief and professional, stating the word count, genre, and any relevant publication history. The editors value concision and narrative drive, so avoid lengthy synopses or marketing language. If your work is accepted, expect a collaborative but hands-off editing process—be prepared to revise with an eye toward tightening prose and clarifying structure.
