Submissions

The press is currently accepting submissions for the digital journal and for full-length manuscripts.

DIGITAL JOURNAL SUBMISSIONS:

The journal releases two publications each month: one on the new moon and one on the full moon. At least one piece in every issue must be an essay; the other may be an additional essay or a creative work such as a photography series, a collection of paintings, a hymn, or a short film. Each issue is shaped around a theme. To submit, you will apply two months in advance and send samples of your work, a short biography, and a pitch for what you wish to create. Each article is partnered with an artistic work. Artists can submit by sending 3 samples of previous work. All submissions must be sent to katharsiospress@gmail.com. We do not allow AI to be involved in the creation of any works. All work through the press is paid.

Submissions for the digital journal are open for the month of April, which has the theme of Thelema, Hermeticism, & Gnosticism.
In terms of future editions, here is the upcoming digital journal calendar, up until August 2026:

April - Thelema, Hermeticism, & Gnosticism

May - Gods & The Divine Masculine

June - Transgressive Spirituality & Witchcraft

July - Animism & Nature-Based Paganism

August - The Magick Of Love, Beauty, & Eros.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS:

The press is currently accepting submissions for full-length manuscripts that will be released in two forms, a physical book and an ebook.

To submit a manuscript, provide a two-page author biography that explores who you are, your perspective, and why your voice carries authority. Include a table of contents, a two-page summary of the manuscript, and one to two sample chapters (excluding introductory material or the main text). The press seeks manuscripts that engage with occultism, magickal studies, philosophy, paganism, and alternative spirituality. We are not seeking introductory works that recycle old concepts, pop spirituality, or materials that do not align with the core message of the press. Please review the “Our Vision” page for clarification on what this means.. We seek original, innovative, and mystical work. Offer a new perspective.

All submissions should be sent to katharsiospress@gmail.com. Please allow time for review. For journal submissions, accepted contributors will receive a response within the first two weeks of the submission month. For manuscripts, responses may take up to one month. Submissions for cover art, asset art, or article covers will be reviewed on a fluid timeline; responses may come immediately or months later. Not all submissions will receive a reply. If you do not hear back, the submission was not accepted. We encourage you to try again at another time.

All work published through the press is paid.
