Dear authors and game designers,
Welcome to Comfortably Strange Publishing. We look forward to reviewing your work and hope to add your production to our portfolio. Currently, we are only interested in releasing books and games in print rather than electronically.
Authors and agents, there are only two things we ask you to take note of when submitting a manuscript or game design to us for consideration:
- Manuscripts should be submitted by e-mailing a cover letter, a one-to-three-page synopsis, and the first three chapters of your manuscript, each as a Microsoft Word attachment. Text should be formatted in the industry standard of Times New Roman 12-point font. Game designs should be submitted by e-mailing a cover letter, a one-to-three page explanation of the boardgame, or completed rulebook, and, if available, an (un)finished demo copy.
- The e-mail’s subject line should include the following: (1) title of the work, (2) genre (and, if applicable, subgenre), and (3) in case of a manuscript, word count.
Feel free to send your manuscript or game design through regular postage adapting the same guidelines.
Our e-mail address is info@comfortablystrange.com and our postal address is Evertsenweg 11, 4819 AN, Breda, The Netherlands.
Although our goal is to introduce your work to a larger audience, we don’t believe that it has to conform to, what is considered by many to be, the mainstream market. We are interested in the quality of your work and finding a unique voice or production in an era where great works tend to get suffocated by easy reads, tweaked mechanics and self-publication.
Comfortably Strange Publishing is interested in the following genres:
Fiction (in the English language only): fantasy, horror, literary, mystery, paranormal, science fiction, suspense, thriller, young adult
Board / Cardgames: strategy (e.g. worker placement, area control, tile placement), science fiction, fantasy, deckbuilding, cooperative, horror, adventure, party game
Please allow 1 month for a reply to your submission.
Thank you for your interest in our company, and the very best of luck to you.
Sincerely,
The Editor
Comfortably Strange Publishing
