Want to be an Author? The Black Library Wants You

In the lonesome October, Games Workshop throws open the portals to the Black Library. The worthy keepers of the lore desire your own original tale of horror set in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe or the Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar.

Enter your story as one of four categories; Survival, Psychological, Gothic, and Cosmic Horror. You’ll submit a paragraph summary and a 500-word extract of your tale. Authors who impress the Black Librarians will be asked to submit the complete story and be in the running for publication.

Look to Warhammer Community for the full post of GW’s pitch which includes examples of each category of horror and some writing prompts to get you started.

So, grab your inks and parchment or fire up your electro-scribe, sacrifice to your muse, and get to writing. October 19th will be on us before you know it. Just don’t get too bogged down in the details…

Don’t look back!
