Intrepidus Ink
Description
We explore intrepid culture: our stories feature four elements in every story: danger, struggle, emotion, and OVERCOMING.
Our stories are intrepid first and not subordinated to other themes. Stories reflect action, fearlessness, and triumph that inspire readers.
We welcome many genres and writing styles, including literary, speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy, literary sf), action and adventure, romance, magical realism, historical fiction, and others. However, we’re not a horror or dark fiction market. Why not? Well, our brand is fearlessness. ?? We also love odd, quirky stories and humor.
