I think I replied privately, but I will add my ideas here. Packs of note cards with 5 or 6 per pack with envelopes. I would buy letter writing paper, but that might not be very popular. I can see changing the top hat for a Santa hat for Christmas cards. Another cute idea would be replacing the briefcase with a tiny pumpkin at Halloween. Stickers are another fun idea.
i am so excited about the space you’re creating around this type of writing— for both writers and readers. watching the energy leading up to your launch, i’m heartened that so many people resonate with this particular lens. thank you, as a writer and a reader <3
Hi, sorry if I just misunderstood the guidelines, (I’m a big over-thinker who loves detail), but if I were to submit something in the horror genre what type of story would be most fitting?
Based on the overall theme I’d assume you want something more… literary in this genre? Or maybe something fairly genre, but more gothic than slasher?
Hi, Hylia, we’re truly not genre bound (though will likely be turned off by slasher) and as long as you have a good story told in a voice that’s original, we’d like to see it!
Would a 5,040 word short story be acceptable to submit? I love following rules, but I have whittled this one as much as is possible and would love to send it your way!
Your logo with the crow would look great on stationary. Coffee mugs, caps, just about anything. I would especially buy stationary.
Thank you for the suggestion, Pam. We so like cute merch and would certainly get to it some point. Also curious, can you specify stationary items?

I like stickers!
Maybe I’m the only but I love matchbooks! I light a lot of candles, lol.
This is such a terrific idea. Thank you for giving us hope and community!!
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
So happy for you (and us)! 🙏
Thank you, Janet!🌻

This is amazing
Thank you!
Very exciting! I will happily submit something
Looking forward :)
I love this so much.
So glad to hear it, Ian!
Do you accept humor short stories?
Yes!
Thanks!
This is so exciting, what a cool initiative! I'm a Substack newbie, looking forward to submit a piece, read other writers and connect 😊

Are you interested in work that straddles the line between flash and poetry?
We’re not accepting poetry for Strange Pilgrims but we have a poetry magazine open for free subs right now: onlypoems.net

That's no problem, Callie. 5000 isn't a hard limit, but approaching 6000 and above would be problem, 🐦⬛
Thank you!
