Thank you for considering Intrepidus Ink as a publisher of your work.
Our process is challenging. Competitive. At least two editors give a story the “thumbs up” for publication.
A story must speak to us, exemplify our aesthetic, and potentially delight readers.
A tall order.
Give Us Gutsy Words. Fascinating Words. Alarmingly Individual.
The fighters, the curious, those who win against the odds. The intrepid.
That’s what we want. Emotion.
Write stories just for us.
But first, read our stories and watch the video (again :-).
We explore intrepid culture: our stories feature danger elements, struggle, emotion, and OVERCOMING. Our stories are intrepid first and not subordinated to other themes.
We accept many genres and writing styles, including literary, speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy), literary speculative fiction, action and adventure, romance, magic realism, historical fiction, and others. We love odd, quirky, experimental stories, and humor.
We don’t take erotica, poetry, children’s fiction, nonfiction, or horror. We love a good, scary story, but we promote FEARLESSNESS, not FEAR or tragedies. Repackaging horror stories as speculative fiction will still earn a rejection (sorry!).
Read and heed submission guidelines, especially for word counts. Click on “The Rules” below.
A tip: if we’ve declined your submissions multiple times, please don’t give up! Keep trying. 
But also, read our published stories to clarify what we mean by intrepid culture.
