Attention! Warning! Peasant Magazine sometimes purchases first world-wide publication rights. You should be aware that if your story is published by Peasant Magazine you will no longer be able to sell first publication rights to another publisher, either on the internet or in print, anywhere in the world. This means you will lose your opportunity to sell your story to paying markets except as a reprint at a drastically lower rate than they would offer for a story that had not been previously published. You should seriously consider offering your work to paying markets before submitting it to Peasant Magazine. We strongly encourage you to do so. You can always submit to Peasant Magazine later for reprinting after you've already been paid by a different magazine.
ARCANE TOMESArcane Tomes / ArcaneTomes.org is an indie fantasy bookstore (of sorts) sponsored by Peasant Magazine and serves to promote Indie Fantasy Books, and also serves to promote Peasant Magazine itself. Joining Arcane Tomes is free and the only requirement is that authors must have self-published at least one book. Literary magazines/journals that publish fantasy stories by indie authors are also acceptable.

ABOUT PEASANT MAGAZINEPeasant Magazine is a free literary fantasy/historical fiction themed journal/magazine produced by fantasy author Charles Moffat with the help of volunteers (and Artificial Intelligence). Hence the name 'Peasant'. We pay nothing, but we also charge nothing. This magazine is free* and produced on a pauper's budget of zero. We don't even have a shoestring budget. We have a budget of nothingness. A complete void. * The PDF version of Peasant Magazine is free, but the paper version is not free due to the cost of printing. People could in theory just print out the PDF and staple/glue/whatever it together, but if you want a nice looking version then just pay for the printed copy. For printing purposes we have opted for Amazon's print-on-demand because it is reasonably priced, doesn't require that we print thousands of copies, we can update the file if need be, and there's zero upfront cost. Oh and potentially free shipping. We will accept any well-written fantasy or historical fiction story that is between 1,000 and 10,000 words that fits our criteria. Anything larger than that will be considered a hard sell for us. A story that is just barely under 1,000 words is a much easier prospect for us. We prefer stories that are set in a medieval, ancient, or prehistoric setting. Any pre-industrial setting (pre-1750) will do. Stories set after 1750 will be automatically rejected. We do not accept fan fiction, poetry or adult fiction. Submissions must be your original work and either family friendly or PG (limit of one F-bomb per story). We expect all submissions to be polished before submission. This doesn't mean that it has be perfectly edited, but you should at least make an effort to fix any issues with the manuscript before submission. If a submission is rife with spelling or grammar mistakes, or is difficult to understand, then it will lead to an automatic rejection. We do not accept art submissions. Reviewing and rejecting art submissions takes time to do. It is faster if we just use photoshop and/or AI to create any art we need. Please do not submit art. See also...
