  • Where can I buy Stygian Society books?
    You can purchase our books at the following locations: Right here in our bookstore! On our Amazon page. Through Smashwords/Draft2Digital At storefronts listed on our Retailers page! (Want to stock or distribute our books? Shoot us an email at minion@stygiansociety.com!)
  • How do I write for The Stygian Society?
    Head on over to our submissions page and send us your manuscript! We don't bite. (This does not guarantee publication)
  • Why don't you ship outside of North America?
    Unfortunately shipping rates are RIDICULOUS from Canada to anywhere overseas. As in, $50 at a minimum for anything tracked. And, we refuse to ship untracked because we don't want to chance you losing your books! We are working on a fix for this but until we've got it, we recommend heading over to Amazon for print copies of Stygian Society publications.
  • How do preorders work?
    Sometimes you will see preorder options on the site! These will either be for restocks so you can secure your copy in advance, or they will be for projects we have not yet released. In either case, you will see a predicted ship date listed on the product page. If you preorder a book, you are guaranteed that copy and it will ship out on the promised date. If there are delays, we will be sure to contact you with an update as the situation progresses. If you would like to cancel your preorder, you are welcome to do so. This can be done by sending us an email to minion@stygiansociety.com
  • Why do you crowdfund?
    Crowdfunding allows us to bring our community closer to the heart of what we do. With initiatives like Scriptorium, we’ve taken funding into our own hands rather than relying on platforms like Indiegogo or Kickstarter. Readers not only choose which projects to back, influencing what gets published and how quickly, but also step into the role of true patrons of the arts. This partnership helps us exist as a small, independent press while creating a meaningful connection between creators and their audience. Crowdfunding isn’t a new idea—it’s deeply rooted in history. For centuries, artists, writers, and musicians relied on patrons and community support to bring their works to life. Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, and Mozart all sought direct support from their audiences, offering rewards such as published names or exclusive content in exchange. Even large-scale efforts, like fundraising for the Statue of Liberty in the 1880s, brought communities together to support shared visions. This tradition of collaboration between creators and supporters has faded in modern times, but we aim to revive it. By crowdfunding, we create a space where readers and writers collaborate directly, strengthening the connection between creators and supporters while shaping the future of the arts together.
  • I funded a book and I'm tired of waiting for it. How do I get my money back?
