Open Submissions

Lokean Publications is a Pagan publishing group that utilizes print-on-demand services to provide Lokean works to the larger Heathen and Pagan communities. The group is run completely by volunteers.

We use MagCloud’s print-on-demand services, as they provide high-quality binding. The price of our products largely goes to pay for these print-on-demand services. As the publishers, we make $9 off every sale.

In turn, that profit goes into a community fund and is used to sponsor other Lokean events, products, and services.

All contributors receive free PDF versions of our works, obtain publication credits, and retain the copyright to all of their submitted work in lieu of royalties. We reserve the right to republish material in new volumes and compilations at our discretion. All creators will be asked to approve any suggested edits before any of our publications go to print. Dual submissions are accepted. Previously published works are accepted (as long as you are not in violation of a contract with another publisher).

No derivative works. No AI.
