Over the past several years we at DMR Books have established ourselves as the preeminent publisher of sword-and-sorcery fiction. We’ve released reprints of classic out-of-print material, collections by current authors, and one-off anthologies of new material (such as Samhain Sorceries). But one thing that’s missing is an ongoing anthology series of new S&S stories. Now, we have that series—Die by the Sword!

The inaugural edition of Die by the Sword will (hopefully) be the first of many volumes. It’s my intention to present stories of such quality that, in time, the series will be well-regarded as the classic anthology series, Swords Against Darkness and Flashing Swords.

Submissions will open on November 1, 2022, and close on December 31, 2022. Die by the Sword (Volume I) is scheduled to be released in May 2023. For complete details on what we’re looking for and how to submit your story, see the submissions page.
