Haunted
Waters Press
is an independent publisher located in Virginia along the banks of the Shandoah
River. Here’s what they have to say about themselves:
“Our goal is to bring engaging
fiction to our readers in the forms of poetry, prose poetry, short stories, and
novellas. While some selections will be available in electronic formats and
traditional print, others will be offered as hand-bound originals and paper
ephemera as we strive to celebrate the art of the book and letterpress
printing. We are interested in stories that entertain us, stories that
captivate us, but most of all, stories that haunt us.”
Their quarterly literary journal, From the Depths,
features works of prose, creative nonfiction and poetry and comes out in March,
June, September, and December on the internet and periodically in print form. Each
issue has a new theme. Check out their detailed submissions page here (and don’t
forget to scroll down).
In addition, the From the
Depths home page (here)
features a steady stream of online literary content from their contributors. Deadline:
On-going.
