Formatting and Submitting Poetry

Upload to Duosuma 3–8 previously unpublished speculative poems, that fit the Cthulhu Mythos theme, as a Pages, Word, RFT, or TXT file. Only use PDF if your poem has special formatting. If your work is not on theme, it has no chance of getting published, so don’t waste your time and mine. Include a brief message and an author bio of max 100 words. 

Submitting Artwork

Please list the names of your pieces and the media/techniques used.  Include a brief message and an artist bio of max 100 words. Attach pdf, png, jpeg, or svg files only. Send 3–8 works of art based on the Cthulhu Mythos.
