Your questions, answered.
Can the story avoid graphic violence?
Yes. Agree on content boundaries at the outset. Psychological tension and implication can carry a horror story.
What should I send for a quote?
For horror writing, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the approximate word count. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.
