For guidelines for submitting manuscripts to Octopus Books, go here.

All rights revert to the authors upon publication in Octopus, and the works can then be subsequently published, though we ask that Octopus get its props as the place of initial publication. We'll accept simultaneous submissions, just let us know if it is accepted elsewhere. We do not consider previously published work.
