I had been following Anuci Press for a while, since their launch in 2023, and was intrigued by the owner's passion for books and authors, and by the positive experience authors working with him had been sharing online. I also loved the covers, as they work with great cover artists such as Ruth Anna Evans and A. A. Medina whose work I love.

Daughters of the Blue Moon had done very well in the trenches, getting a high request rate and super kind personalized rejections from editors who had no doubt this novella would find its home eventually.

After a few weeks in the querying process, I wondered if Tony Anuci, the owner of Anuci Press, would be interested in other types of dark fiction besides horror, which is the focus of his press. So I emailed him and asked. He responded quickly and positively, saying he was open to other genres besides traditional horror, and invited me to submit my manuscript. A couple of weeks later it was in his inbox, and a couple of weeks after that he emailed me back saying he had loved the novella and was interested in publishing it. We had a great conversation and I felt that joining Anuci Press with this novella was the right choice. His love for the story and communication style were exactly what I needed for this book.
