Ever wanted to become a published Warhammer author? Now's your chance—and you only need to write 500 words

Warhammer characters Cawl and Fabius Bile staring at each other against a backdrop of stars.

If you've ever dreamed of weaving grimdark tales of the Imperium and its many foes, or already have a secret folder full of your Fabius Bile x Belisarius Cawl fanfic, your time is now. Black Library—the home of Warhammer novels—has once again flung open its doors and put out an open call for pitches.

All you need to do is send them a scene of a short story you'd like to write (no more than 500 words) and if they like it, they may commission you to do the full thing. From there, anything's possible—short story writers for Black Library often go on to write full Warhammer novels. No other references or portfolios are required, so it really is open to absolutely anyone who thinks they've got the chops to take a crack.
