Send Us Your Manuscript
There are more dark romance books being written than we could ever discover on our own. So, we're opening the door to the community.
Library of Angels accepts manuscript submissions from authors who want to put their work directly in front of our Reading Team, the Saints of Sin.
They're a group of readers who genuinely know and love dark romance, but their role goes a little deeper than deciding whether they liked a book. The Saints read submitted manuscripts to help us keep our finger on what's happening within the genre. They're paying attention to the stories being told, the themes authors are exploring, the conversations beginning to take shape, and the books they believe deserve a second look from our editorial team.
Their insight helps us curate future themes and editorial direction for Gothic Angel Society. So, when you submit your manuscript, you're not asking for a rating or a public review. You're putting your book into the hands of the readers helping us decide what we should be paying attention to next.
-
Your Book Must Be Recent—or Coming Soon
We're currently accepting books that have been published within the last six months.
We also accept upcoming releases and ARCs with a scheduled publication date within the next six months.
This keeps our Reading Team focused on the books, authors, and conversations actively shaping dark romance right now.

This Is Not a Review Request
Submitting your manuscript does not enroll your book in a review program.
The Saints of Sin are reading for our internal editorial consideration. You should not expect a star rating, Goodreads review, Amazon review, social media review, or other public review in exchange for your submission because this is not what this program is for.

Submission Does Not Guarantee Magazine Placement
We want to be very transparent about this. Submitting your manuscript guarantees consideration only.
It does not guarantee that you, your book, your characters, or your work will appear in Gothic Angel Society. The Reading Team's feedback is one piece of a much larger editorial process. Their recommendations may help bring a book to our attention, inspire a future conversation, or influence the themes we're interested in exploring. Submitting gives our team the opportunity to know your work exists.
What Happens After You Submit?
Your manuscript enters our Reading Team's submission pool.
From there, the Saints of Sin will work through submissions and share their thoughts internally with Library of Angels. Their feedback helps our editorial team see what's happening across dark romance beyond the books already sitting on bestseller lists or taking over our feeds.
There isn't a guaranteed path from submission to magazine.
What we’re doing is giving our readers room the liberty to shape future issues of Gothic Angel Society Magazine. Maybe that's with an author we've never heard of, a book plot showing us something we haven't seen before, or maybe five completely different books make our team realize there's a conversation we want an entire issue to explore.
That's what the Saints are here to find. So send us the book you think we should know about!
Our AI Policy
Library of Angels does not accept manuscripts that have been generated, written, or substantially developed using generative AI.
The same applies to supporting creative materials submitted alongside your manuscript. Please do not send us AI-generated cover artwork, character artwork, promotional artwork, or other generated creative assets as part of your submission.
We care deeply about protecting human creativity, especially within independent publishing.
If we determine that submitted work violates this policy, the submission may be immediately removed from consideration. Knowingly submitting AI-generated work as your own may also affect your eligibility to work with Library of Angels or Gothic Angel Society in the future.
