We are interested in book-length manuscripts of fiction or creative nonfiction.
Dear Writing Community,
For Spring 2025 submissions, we're interested, as always, in book-length projects of fiction or creative nonfiction. We're especially eager to see works that may fit our ongoing WalkAbout series (follow the link to see what it includes).
After clicking Submit, please use the Cover Letter field to provide a synopsis of your work and a short biographical statement.
For the File Upload, attach about 50 pages of your manuscript in Word, RTF, or PDF format. If we enjoy that sample, we'll come back to you to ask for more. (There's no additional submission fee if we request the full manuscript.)
Please make sure to number the pages in your sample. Also, because at least one of our regular readers is annoyed by double spaces after periods, it'd be best to avoid those.
We look forward to reading your work!
