PonyXS Submissions

PonyXS is a new imprint of Stalking Horse Press created specifically for shorter and 'misfit' works of literary fiction and nonfiction between 20-40k words. This might be a fantastic novella that needs a home, or a themed collection of short stories. 

Genre is not an issue, except for our usual caveat that we don't publish high fantasy, romantasy, splatter/exploitation titles or YA. 

PonyXS will print in a slightly smaller format from regular Stalking Horse Press titles and will feature a distinctive thematic cover design and a volume number. Submissions permitting, PonyXS will publish 4-6 manuscripts per year beginning in 2027. 

Open from May 15, 2026 at 8am MST.
