Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, Midnight Meadow Submissions will remain closed until further notice.

We will not open for our October window, and likely will also be closed in April 2026 as well.

We are sorry for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience!

ISO them queers who want to support a small queer indie press and get a shirt that features flowers that the queer community historically used to identify one another.

(We will be leaving up our posts because this event WAS good, and the runners should have some shame to look back on that they so quickly made themselves not the allies they claimed to be).
You may have seen from recent posts that Midnight Meadow attended Pack in the Readers in Greenbay, WI this weekend. No one in our staff had seen previous posts from them that would have raised red flags for us and ultimately led us to backing out. Everything we had seen from them had given us a very different view of who was running this event. While at the event, the issues with the runner from Booked In Chaos began circulating, and we then saw screenshots of those posts. After careful consideration, we decided to tread lightly with the event, especially as the event was practically over before those began circulating in our feeds. The event itself was inclusive, fun, and felt as if so much love and care had gone into it, that we had every intention of returning should they host the event again. As Pack in the Readers have now released a statement of “neutrality” in this political climate, standing with the runner of Booked in Chaos, and cementing themselves as unsafe to our family, our authors. our friends, and our colleagues, that is no longer the case. Midnight Meadow is a queer and Black-owned business. We care deeply for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we do not tolerate hatred or bigotry. We aim to only align ourselves with those who share our values. In short, ACAB, Land Back, Free Palestine, and FDT.

And don’t forget, we are open for submissions for our Trans story anthology for June only!

It’s true that I skipped our monthly holiday sale for May. And that’s because I felt my idea of a “Mommy Issues” sale might have gone a little too far.

And there’s no joking about Memorial Day.

I’m just a gal standing in front of a bluesky feed full of writers, reminding you this is a thing we are doing.

Treat yourself, but it’s a queer fantasy featuring dragons

A Met Gala look that could have been inspired by the first Black fantasy we’ve had the pleasure of getting to publish.

Then we have Holly Sap, which is inspired directly by one of our M/M romances in which a man falls for a dryad named Holly.

And, personally, I think we captured that perfectly.

Equally, I’m proud of Dank Cave & Instant Regret because how do you capture the smell of imminent doom in a candle?

Well, we did it.

ICYMI, we just dropped a candle collection.

By far, Dragon Fire & Denture Cream is my favorite! It burns for 40 whole hours, and carries the scent of a burning city and a nursing home at the same time??

I’m so impressed with us.

When the author jokes about the very serious plot points 😂

Stickers anyone?
“As if we don’t already have enough goodies I just did a bulk order of baby dragon book stickers 😂🤭” “Yoooo I love that! 🤣 it’s raining dragons up in here …wow, I actually didn’t think won’t that before saying it lol” In a world where dragons are the life source, their sudden mysterious deaths slowly push Zeala into peril. When nineteen-year-old Alice Reid investigates the cause, she runs into members of a rival paramilitary organization for the first time. The encounter takes a violent turn, igniting Commander Rio Shackler’s curiosity for two reasons: Alice can summon a mythical being, and clues about the deaths conveniently point to her. With Rio’s mission to enforce dragon safety, he pursues Alice to eliminate a potential threat. The two clash, unaware of the other’s agenda, and unknowingly fueling their divided organizations. As more dragons perish, the world withers from the depletion of its life force. Trees die, fires lose oxygen, grass dries out, plants wilt into black rot, and the water supply dwindles. Alice and Rio find themselves on opposite sides of the truth but with a common enemy that binds them. In order to work together, they must set aside their bickering, scheming, and contrasting personalities, but mutual loathing won’t be their only obstacle. Questionable deities, a nefarious cult, and corruption brewing in the heart of the monarchy threaten each step they take toward saving their world. If Alice and Rio can’t unravel the mystery in time, the feud between their organizations will be the least of their worries. The Divide that Binds Us cover sits next to a burning candle, some dragon scale chainmail, and a dagger

Remember last month when I said we’d be queerifying every holiday for the rest of the year?

They can threaten pride month, but they can’t take something we didn’t ask permission to have in the first place.

Enjoy our Modern Day Snakes 🐍 sale this St. Patrick’s Day! 🥰
