Who We’re Open to Working With

Partnerships and collaborations are considered when they support research integrity, creative depth, and ethical engagement with folklore, occult history, and symbolic systems.

This may include:

• Writers, researchers, and folklorists

• Artists, illustrators, and designers

• Editors and creative collaborators

• Publishers, small presses, or independent creators

• Educators or cultural projects aligned with ethical documentation

• Brands or makers whose work is thoughtful, transparent, and responsibly sourced

Alignment matters more than reach.

Types of Collaboration

Creative Collaboration

Collaborative writing projects, short story collections, essays, or experimental formats that fit the archive’s tone and scope.

This may include:

• Co-authored or guest-written pieces (by invitation or proposal)

• Fiction rooted in folklore, liminality, or myth

• Narrative projects that sit alongside the archive rather than dilute it

All creative collaborations are curated, edited, and clearly credited.

Editorial & Development Support

Undine Grimoires also offers select editorial collaboration, including:

• Developmental feedback on long-form projects

• Structural editing and proofreading

• Creative consultation for folklore- or myth-adjacent work

These collaborations are handled with care, confidentiality, and clear scope.

Commissions

Commissioned work is available in limited capacity.

This may include:

• Custom short stories

• Thematic narrative pieces

• Research-supported creative writing

Commissioned work is discussed individually to ensure alignment and realistic timelines.

Ethical Brand & Project Partnerships

Occasionally, Undine Grimoires partners with brands, makers, or projects that align with its values.

These partnerships may involve:

• Featured collaborations

• Affiliated articles or resources

• Limited promotional integration

Partnerships are considered only when:

• The product or project aligns with the archive’s ethics

• Transparency is maintained

• Editorial independence is preserved

Undine Grimoires does not accept partnerships that require exaggerated claims, spiritual promises, or misrepresentation.

What We Don’t Do

To save everyone time and disappointment:

• No SEO-only content or keyword stuffing

• No “ancient secrets,” miracle claims, or spiritual guarantees

• No cultural extraction or closed-tradition workarounds

• No rushed timelines or unpaid speculative labor

• No partnerships that compromise research integrity or reader trust

Respect for boundaries is not negotiable.

How to Propose a Collaboration

If you believe a collaboration would be a good fit, reach out with:

• A brief introduction

• The nature of the proposed collaboration

• Relevant links or samples

• A clear understanding of scope and expectations

Not all proposals will receive a response, and not all responses will be immediate. The archive moves deliberately.

A Shared Understanding

Collaboration here is not about visibility for its own sake. It’s about building something that lasts longer than a trend cycle.

If that resonates, the door is open.
