Dagger Guidelines

 

[EPIC FANTASY/SWORD & SORCERY] Epic sword clashing action, magic, and light at the end of very dark tunnels. There’s a battle being fought somewhere at all times. Hero is a title that the brave has never owned but do embody. Sometimes cowards like them, sometimes they don’t. But they are always needed.

Dagger embodies the heroes people love to hate and resent out of jealously, but are too cowardly to take the same risks.

Specifically, we want:

• Fast paced stories with chapter-ending cliffhangers.
• AGE: New Adult and Adult only.
• Proven category tropes including, but not limited to, throne ascension.
• Protagonist: Lone heroines or heroes who sometimes take on to fulfill a purpose that is bigger than any one person.
• Strong conflict. Is there a choice between life and death? Explore tasks that must be completed that require the bravery of the few.
• POV: 3rd person POV is preferred, but 1st POV is acceptable and should be extremely strong. Non-primary characters should NOT have their own POV.
• Authors we love: Robert E. Howard, Roger Zelazny, Meg Cowley, George RR Martin.
• The heat levels between protags/antags can be anywhere from a simmering spark to blazing.
• Single title manuscripts must be complete at 60-90K words in length.
• Series title installments must be complete at 50-90K words in length and be presented as complete serialized packages.

We will not accept any submissions containing the following:

• Age play/Pedophilia
• Bestiality. Steamy shifter sex (in human form) is welcome.
• Edge play. Including, but not limited to, blood, breath, scat/urine, knife, and gun. If it’s not safe, we’re not interested.
• Incest. No blood relatives, please. We do, however, accept step-siblings, and in-laws.
• Necrophilia
• Rape as titillation
• Any submission more than 500 words outside of the posted submission guidelines
