We have two submission periods: January 1 through November 30 — For all works published between January 1, 2026 and November 30, 2026 December 1 through December 31 — For all works published between December 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026 We do this to save our jurors from having too big an avalanche of works at the end of the year, so please submit early. You or your authorized agent are offering your own work to be read by the Bram Stoker Award Jury. This will not get the work on the Recommended Reading List — that is a separate process. Neither submitting to the Jury nor the work’s presence on the Recommended Reading List guarantees that the work will make it to the ballot. By submitting, you are affirming no AI was used in your submission. SUBMIT A DIGITAL COPY OF THE WORK Upload files only in PDF (Adobe), EPUB, MOBI, DOC (Word), or RTF (rich text format) If you cannot upload your work, then upload a DOC, RTF, or PDF document about your work and where to get a review copy (NetGalley, Edelweiss, etc) plus the required information from the form below. DEEP BREATH. Take your time. Make sure your recommendation is neatly formatted and complete. For questions or concerns, please email stokerchair@horror.org.
