Maybe it's time for an introduction to Infested Publishingπ§΅
We're working-class creatives who understand the power the arts have to liberate hearts and minds. We have grown tired of the treatment of writers by some who take as much care as factory owners seeking profit.
50 submissions to our anthology call already. Thank you! Have a great weekend full of creativity, adventure, and plotting the downfall of A.I. ππ
We've had some fantastic stories submitted already. Thank you so much for being so talented! Let's keep that going next week ππ€π
LIVE until midnight July 31st.
For more details, check the submission page here π
Working behind the scenes on our first anthology call. More news on that when we have it. If you could spread the word of a small press wanting to do right by creatives then that would be wonderful ππ
Yes, we want YOU, the writer, to die in your story. How else are we to claim your soul?
You could be a peripheral character or a cursed narrator, BUT be inventive as there's only 8 places up for grabs.

If you see any problematic individuals creeping with us, then please let us know. Our values are from 2024, not 1924. We won't work with anyone who spouts hate speech and/or walks amongst us as an abuser. Infested will stamp on the neck of that wherever we see it.
We received one of our favourite stories this week. It's so cool to think of the stories we'll get to read over the next two months.
However, one story failed the vibe check. We don't fk with A.I, but we will fk with you if you send that weak shit our way ππ

You can tell we're new ππ Just ironing out an issue of our making. If your story kills off a first-person narrator who you're "writing through," then that is acceptable. Or, for example,you could write,
"Adam was crushed like a bug as a wall of tinned beans fell on top of him."

We have our first 2025 writer under contract. Someone who deserves more will receive just that. For a start, we've fallen in love with the novella in question and will act accordingly ππ€π
Guys (and we can't stress this enough) we have zero tolerance towards A.I. Please consider how A.I generated profile pics, book covers, etc, look to potential publishers who are under threat from those very same cheat codes.
Much love ππ
Laura, aka Cut Fingers π, is an artist and writer. She will be responsible for all aspects of promotional design and book covers. Laura also produces affordable book covers and is available for custom design work.
Where it all began to feel like we could do some things for ourselves. A lot of good publishers out there but also some who have no real interest in your project of passion. Know your worth ππ€π
Kurt, a future class war veteran, finds himself hunting demonic creatures for his paymasters. Either he accepts the contracts, or he starves.
Yet on the ashes of a broken town, a spark is all it takes for revolution.

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! After hours and hours of crunching away at my laptop, VOTING IS LIIIIIIIVE! **Please read the instructions to make sure your vote will be counted.**
I'm looking forward to unleashing my first sci-fi novella. The end scenes were a conversation I'd liked to have had with my late Grandad. Toughest thing I'd attempted up until that point. I'm still working hard at my craft. I hope that shows.
