Submissions
Tell us about the book.
We read for two lists. Please choose the right door — both lead to the same standard.
Route 01
Traditional
Acquired and published at our expense, with an advance and royalties.
- Agented submissions welcome year-round
- Limited window for unagented manuscripts
- We respond to everything we ask to see in full
Route 02
Partnership
Seven places a year, by reading and invitation, for authors who share the investment and receive the full house.
- Bring a finished, serious manuscript
- Candid about cost from the first conversation
- Acceptance conditional on the book, never on payment
