Villain Era publishes literature of revenge. New work appears on the site each Tuesday and Friday.
We are currently open to submissions of all kinds. See our Submission Guidelines for instructions. Please——do not be our villain. Follow these instructions. We kept them simple. If you don’t see the kind of work you do represented there, please use the submission email to pitch your idea. We’re open to all innovative forms of revenge.
You can embrace your Villain Era in three ways:
🔪 Visit this website at your peril to read new work, which appears sporadically, without warning, as the best revenge does.
🔪 Subscribe to receive new pieces directly in your inbox like a black cat crossing your path when you least expect it.
🔪 Follow our social media accounts on Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook.
Villain Era is an unpaid labor of vengeance, and we appreciate writers who treat us appropriately. No one is getting paid. No one is here to harm you. We’re here for the same reason——because we love literature, and we’ve been hurt before. Let’s respect our efforts and our wounds and keep this world safe for revenge. 🖤🔪
Coming Soon! Villain Era’s Vendettas
Sometimes your revenge needs to be really specific. Focused. Targeted. Personal.
That’s why we’ll be hosting a series of Vendettas, special folios of themed work with specific submission periods and guidelines. Be on the look out for these very special calls for submission by following our social accounts.
