Just a reminder: It's okay to leave comments!
Many beginning writers are looking for places to submit work, and I like to post such markets when I find them, especially ones that are new to me. When I saw a post for Breaking Fate Publishing on Horror Tree, I decided to check them out. Horror Tree only had one of their requests listed, so I put the others out here with a link back to their site. BTW, Horror Tree is a great resource for horror writers.
I haven't worked with these folks before, so this isn't a recommendation, but it shouldn't deter you from working with them, either! For those who do choose to submit, heed all the normal warnings that apply to dealing with any small publisher. And note, for short stories they pay with contributor copies. Good luck!

About Us
What is our objective? To bringing frightening entertainment to the masses and to create new nightmares to fear. Let no bed be safe from terror.
We are not a traditional publisher or company. We work with writers and artists of other dark mediums to publish materials that frighten and bring new fear into their psyche. We strive to work with the independents and we support independent rights.
We are not a traditional publisher or company. We use sources that focus in POD printing and focus more heavily on digital publishing for Kindle and Nook platforms. We do push more for exclusive Kindle publishing due to certain restrictions but that decision is fully up to the other when publishing their work.
We work with authors and we support independent artist rights. We independently publish each work and work with the author on releasing their work. We do not offer services that traditional publishers do, but work with authors and make suggestions to help them get their work ready for publication.
We have editors and cover artists that we recommend when preparing their title, but in the end it is up to the writer to make sure they have their work prepared and ready for the masses to read. For what we do, we take 30% of earnings from each title sold and pass on all remaining sales profit to the author. All our contracts are non-exclusive and much of the rights for the work remain with the author.
